Ladder 49 (2004)
7/10

The cast for this film were great. The film was based on the memories of a fire fighter during a dangerous mission. The movie has action, romance, family life and the comradery of the character and his personal relationship with the chief (john travola). They made fire fighters look brave and probably had something to do with 9/11. It showed how one needs to relieve stress due to the demanding job. Travola sure can act. I am glad he finally picked a good role. He seems to have difficulties in that category.

The movie is a downer with the sad ending. The directing of the movie from present to past was done quite well and realistic. The only thing I did not like was that they showed some of the best scenes in the trailer. Joaquin Phoenix is a versatile actor and did an excellent role. 7/10
