Joel H Jan 16 Remember when the 90s tried to make William Baldwin a star? Backdraft is one the most popular movies about firefighters, but it’s definitely not because of the acting. Kurt Russell carries almost this whole movie on his back with his performance. The reason this film is impressive is because of the visual effects. When you see fire on the screen, it’s real fire, not computer-generated flames. And that brings each smoky scene some gravity. Although they shouldn’t have tried to make the fire into a living, breathing antagonist. That was cheesy. But despite its flaws, Backdraft is still a memorable movie.

See more Romas M @Romas Sep 3 Greetings from Lithuania. "Backdraft" (1991) is a very solid film. The all star cast here works for good - while on paper this movies plot shouldn't have worked. Great director Ron Howard brought a life to this film - every scene here just pulses and this movie never gets boring. Clearly "Backdraft" is one of those films that were not meant for critics but rather for general audiences. Special effects involving fire still looks great, and sound design is terrific here. But its acting and directing of this material makes this movie work and combining with terrific production values makes this film work. Overall, "Backdraft" is a good movie. Great actors did great work, production values are good and directing by Ron Howard is excellent. Not a great film, but a good guilty pleasure film.
