" Ladder 49 " - (2004)

     4.0/5

"Excellent Action Film about firefighters in a post 9/11 world. Outstanding performances by Travolta and Phoenix add to the film's good storyline. Ladder 49's effects were very good, and overall contributed to giving a better insight into the risks that firefighters are confronted with on a daily basis. It kept my attention, and generated a new respect for being a fireman"
