Rating:  - You still in acting??
You still alive? That is the greatest line spoken in this movie. William Forsythe says it. This line alone is reason enough to avoid the film. My only question is, Mr. Forsythe, are you still in acting? hahaha. I haven't seen a new movie with him in ages. Ex-football player movies stink hahaha.
Rating:  - The Best Documentry to learn about fighting fire
As a person that took several units at the local community college in fire safety I can honestly attest that this film stays to true to form regarding firefighting. Having the experience of watching footage of fire and being at times several hundred feet from a fire I consider myself an expert in the matter of man's first foe: fire. In my class, we watched the compelling documentary of real life firefighter, Jesse Graves, fighting in what we call a "Firestorm." "Firestorms" are essentially storms ... Read More
Rating: - Unparalleled realism, Howie's hygiene is beyond reproach
As a real-life wildland firefighter I am here to tell you that this movie is perfection and grace. The writers themselves must have eaten smoke in some former life.

From DOC crews who are chained to their bus while traveling to the fire and released with a potential deadly weapon in a camouflage ridden forest---to Howie's masterful portrayal of a smokejumper with a heart and the childlike demeanor of an alcoholic scoutmaster, this film is pure ...

Rating: - put this fire out
Hokey, instantly forgettable actioner that typically casts football star Long as a smoke jumper who ends up pursuing criminal Forsythe in the midst of a blazing forest fire. It's hard not to be a step ahead of this overdone, routinely-written turkey. The dialouge is silly and the characters are thin and unappealing.
Rating:  - GREAT ENTERTAINMENT - A MACHO MOVIE - GREAT SUBJECT
A macho movie -- just means that the guys are out there doing their job with a few nuts thrown in.
I am always looking for Scott Glenn's movies and enjoy the few that I have.
I have always had the greatest respect for paratroopers covering any job. I can't imagine a job much more dangerous. You got to admire these guys.
Loved the movie and all the color - the terrain - the characters - and hey, how about that heliocopter pilot. Wow! look at that long hair.
