- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The film is less of a drama than a tribute -- an ode, even -- to the spirit and tenacity of firefighters. Its makers hardly bother to explore the lives or motives behind their actions."
-
"Celebrates heroes without turning them into saints"
-
"This drama about Baltimore firefighters makes a serious effort to honor the sacrifices of professional rescue workers, but blasts of hokum keep threatening to collapse the building."
-
"Fails as drama but succeeds as a 'When bad things happen to good firemen' procedural."
-
"Aside from the awesome flames and pyrotechnic scenes of crisis, danger, and part-of-the-job bravery, the movie is a quiet salute; it does its job."
