if you pack all the clichés about city firefighter into 105 minute while you have ladder 49. it have a story but be highly cloud by all the clichés . it turn it into movie that with every event while becomes so predictable it not worth watch . there be no depth to the story and even the acting seem superficial . it look like it want to be a tribute to firefighter but end up be boring and pretentious . the parallel between jack morrison be fatally trap beneath an inaccessible part of a building and firefighter be trap beneath the rubble of the twin tower be all too obvious . it doesn not compare to movie like backdraft and certainly do not set an example for future movie about fire personnel .
