Review of Ladder 49 (2004) by Gunter V — 10 Apr 2009
This thriller really is an emotional story of a family proceeding into the firey staircase of life. The story tells us why a man becomes a firefighter and goes further to provide an answer of why firefighters are brave. It is a riveting movie with skilled and uplifting acting between Phoneix and Travolta.
The story is a little perdictable but the throwbacks provide great insight as to how a firefighter works and plays. The commradrie of the unit is captured completely through the horse play and bar scenes of the movie.
I recommend it as a good movie and think the acting is better than a diluted story line.
