Backdraft 2

I grew up in the 90s so the original Backdraft was a staple in my childhood film viewings. When I saw they were making a direct to dvd/digital sequel I groaned and couldn't believe it. But I gave this one a chance and it's not that bad if you do exactly that. Obviously the cast in this one doesn't have the same chemistry from the original film but if you nitpick and compare every detail you are going to hate it no matter what. Donald Sutherland essentially caries this film with his role. Joe Anderson and William Baldwin are both clearly putting effort in and I give them credit. Right now this is on Netflix in the US so I say give it a shot.

I enjoyed the movie didn't expect it to grab my attention cause im a vintage person i love the first backdraft it did creep me out a little to see how much william baldwin looks alot like alec these days lol....donald's character just as creepy as ever works thou and sean's past haunts him to a point but all around not terrible to watch i loved the references to the first one throughout ignore all the lame asses that cant grasp at what they filmed if you loved the first one give this on a try and ignore all the others and watch it for yourself!

This film is interesting to me because it's the first time I watch a film about arson investigation. I think it is suspenseful. I enjoyed it.

Interesting attempt at a follow up story line to the original fire family. Decent casting except for the female firefighter. Donald Sutherland is still creepily good. The soundtrack is excellent,.The excessive f-bombs ruined the main character for me.

Well it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick but just barely. First I want to acknowledge the reviewer who complained about jacking a round in the chamber, I'm with ya bro ticks me off too. I'm not a LEO but I am ex military and a combat vet and if you're carrying a weapon one thing you don't want is to be jacking around jacking a round you better be locked cocked and ready to rock. The original Backdraft was a classic this one is not, it's not painful to watch but you won't leave praising it either.
