Firefighters legacy
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendA lot to be said for families that are in professions that are handed down through the generations. This tells of such families, their life as firemen plus the experience it takes to recognize the beast fire can be.

“Backdraft” is a technical achievement.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendI enjoyed this movie. The story is more about a rookie firefighter trying to earn the respect of his older brother and other firefighters while taking part in an investigation of a string of arson/murders. This detailed look into the duties and private lives of firemen naturally features widespread pyrotechnics and special effects. I also enjoyed the soundtrack.

Very good movie with a very good cast.
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.By far the best version of this movie available. Picture quality was really good colors popped and details really stood out, such as skin textures, fire trucks and names on equipment really stood out. The new dtsx soundtrack was awesome if you have a avr that does 7.2.4 you will enjoy this. The fire scenes were the firefighters are inside the buildings was awesome sounding. Sounds came from from all directions and overhead, one of the best dtsx soundtracks I've heard yet. Though I've seen this movie on satellite DVD cable I've never bought a copy till the 4k dtsx version. Glad I now have it in my collection.

Greatest film about Firefighters
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendIt has been a few years since I last viewed this film and although some of the vehicles and tech used in this film make it a little dated (1991), this film is still a tour de force of acting, writing, directing, fire effects, and all else involved. My fiance had never seen it, she was completely engrossed and loved every minute.
Rating 4 out of 5 stars with 1 review

|Posted .Owned for 9 months when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendEnjoyed the rescue scenes. All the characters are believable and have good chemistry together.
