4.0 out of 5 stars
surprisingly entertaining,
By
This review is from: Ladder 49 (Widescreen) (DVD)
i was surprised about this movie.it was much more entertaining than ithough 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

"We open our eyes and dream",
By
This review is from: Ladder 49 (Widescreen) (DVD)
From the very first we are immersed in explosive scenes as watch Jack Morrison (Joaquin Phoenix), a well trained fire fighter is disregarding his own peril as he saves a man from the burning high-rise building. The inevitable happens and Jack is trapped in the burning debris. As his comrades rush to save him the rest of the film is a series of flash-backs from his rooky days until the present.The story focus is on Jack Morrison's life and secondarily firefighting in general. Captain Mike Kennedy (John Travolta) holds the team together. John Travolta is believable in the film. Aside from the numerous clich's and shades of 9/11 this is a well done formula movie. ---------------------------------------------------------- The wide screen DVD was very clear on watching on the laptop. This film would be a good candidate for "Superbit". There are some extras such as an audio commentary with director Jay Russell and Editor Bud Smith. There is a lot of interesting backgrounds music to the various scenes. This soundtrack is available.

Outstanding!,

This review is from: Ladder 49 (Full Screen) (DVD)
When I first saw this movie, I didn't expect much but boy was I surprised! This movie is great. The characters are touching, the way the storyline is presented is unconventional but that's what makes the movie great. It isn't the typical firefighter-police-soldier hero movie!Two thumbs up from me that's for sure!
