i was surprised about this movie.it was much more entertaining than i
though it would be.it also moves along at a good pace.Joaquin Phoenix's
character is the main focus of the story,but i think John Travolta
steals the show.he has less screen time,but he gives a very credible
and commanding performance.Robert Patrick is also in the movie,although
he doesn't have a substantial role.still,i thought he was great with
the scenes he had.he is one of the most underrated actors out there,in
my book.Phoenix does a god job as the main character,bu like i
said,this movie is Travolta all the way.anyway,there is one scene in
the movie which is a bit of a downer.other than that though,for
entertainment value you can't beat his movie.my vote for Ladder 49 is a
4/5
