Backdraft 1991
Two firefighter brothers who don't get on well have to put their differences aside when a arsonist strikes around the city.
The plot to this might seem boring, slow but director Ron Howard keeps us entertained with this action thriller movie. Kurt Russell and William Baldwin star as the two brothers Stephen and Brian who seem to try and outshine each other. Robert De Niro stars as the fire investigation leader who seems a bit unbalanced and admires the arsonist way of creating the fires. Scott Glenn as part of the fire fighting team who doesn't like the way Stephen handles some ways of his work but may have other agendas. J.T. Walsh makes an appearance of the city official running for mayor but has a lot of secrets.
Donald Sutherland makes a small cameo as Ronald a prisoner who loved to burn things and becomes a guide to understanding the fires.
This is one of those memorable films that still seems to be enjoyable now than when it first came out, and does have its small flaws, the fire scenes are amazing and a good soundtrack score from Hans Zimmer. 8 out of 10
