i love this movie when i be a teenager . love it . it hasn not grow up with me and though . maybe that because it a melodramatic load of old rubbish and full of macho posturing and cheesy dialogue and overwrought slo mo and character say goddammit a lot . the lumpy narrative blob gracelessly from one character to another and one plot strand to another and without ever bring it all together and and it doesn not help that william baldwin mono expression of a performance be wet enough to put out every fire in the movie overlong runtime . robert deniro and donald sutherland be worth watch and but no one really at the top of their game here and and the woman folk get particularly short thrift . the only real impact come from the impressive firefighting sequence and and han zimmer majestic score and which remain one of my all time favourite .
