Review of Backdraft (1991) by Millo T — 01 Feb 2011
As far as I'm concerned this was never intended to change modern cinema, but instead a spectacle for some jaw-dropping and realistic special effects. And that's the main attraction of the movie.
It also features a lackluster, recyclable plot and tedious writing. It's not the best choreographed film ever, and that's evident throughout and easy to notice. Apart from the effects, the a-list cast is the next main attraction to the film in an attempt to guard and distract the viewer from this badly organised, overlong and badly acted on no-name William Baldwin's part.
This film just has too many technical flaws (and continuity errors) for me to overlook. And with that ending, it was not worth the 125 minutes I spent on it.
