Pretty solid, classic style of the 90s action movie.

| "Backdraft" is a spectacle worth observing; it may also generate a little more respect for firemen, everyday heroes who don`t need the movies to polish their image.

Absolutely fantastic setpieces strung along an absolutely dimwitted script.

Ron Howard's film is one of smoke-eaters, crispers, and torches... and it bestows a renewed respect on a profession all too often taken for granted.

Director: Ron Howard.

Visually speaking, the film does pretty well with fire-as-spectacle, less well with everything else (Howard tends to trot out fuzzy-toned Spielbergian backlighting on any pretext). The fire sequences are stunning, and the build-up to them, complete with blaring sirens and bellowed conversations, has an aggressive immediacy. But, there are some goofs in this film, like firefighters not donning their breathing apparatus in certain parts. Backdraft is a triumph of stunt work and flaming special effects.

But damn, citywide funerals, a cranked score, and some Baldwin blue steel redemption poses clears away any irksome storytelling dissatisfaction.

The fire effects have held up remarkably well, but that's about the only thing of note.
