I saw this movie last night. This is a moving look into the inside of a firehouse and the family atmosphere between the firemen, but also an inside look at the range of work a firefighter is called to do, from silly to unbelievable, incredibly rewarding to death defying. Really well done. Despite my long-standing rule of "Anything starring Joaquin can't be all bad", it wasn't my first choice of movies to see last night but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.
I would be interested to hear from a firefighter how realistic some firefighting aspects are. No matter, reminds you how much respect the entire profession deserves.
Added note, also in the movie is Jacinda Barrett, of Real World London fame. The whole movie I was like "who is that????" and I just looked it up and figured it out. A little amzing that I recognize her from that....how long ago was that?? :umno:

I haven't seen the movie, but the buzz on my local fire/rescue forum is that the scenes were pretty darn realistic. They all seemed to like it.
I am waiting for this on DVD

I've heard that it is basically a movie just like Backdraft. Good movie, but a lot of the fire behavior isn't quite realistic.

no no no, much better than Backdraft. If for no other reason than the fact that there are no Baldwins in it. There is really only one particular fire in the movie that I question how close to reality it would be (and I'd like to ask a firefighter a couple questions), otherwise I could see how the rest would be realistic.

I saw it a few weekends ago. I thought it was really well done. Several of the scenes were quite realistic. It was definately much more well done than Backdraft. I'm a new-ish firefighter (2 years) but from talking to the more seasoned guys they thought it was pretty realistic too.
