This movie follows Jack Morrison(Joaquin Phoenix),a firefighter, as he grows from naive rookie to
professional fireman. We get to see how much he has grown as a husand to Linda(Jacinda Barrett), a father
to his two children, and a friend to his fellow firefighters (Morris Chesnut, John Travolta, Jay
Hernandez). Meanwhile, as we reminise Jack is struggling to survive inside a burning building.
His fellow fiefighters are rushing to his rescue, but will they get their in time to save this hero's
life?
I found this movie to big a real tear jerker. Bring your tissues. You really start to feel for Jack's
family, and his struggle to do what he loves. Also, the directing was interesting. At first all the
movement was making it hard for me to follow, and my eyes were burning. Then I realized that it was
brilliant cinematography. How else could you feel all the smoke in your eyes without inhaling it?
My Grade: B+
