Fire - Nessuna via d'uscita

A very high-quality film made, despite the cringe in the first 15 minutes and in places a lazy set-up, a very tense and coolly directed film with a cool Khabensky. I do not recommend missing it.

The movie is a perfect hardcopy of typical US big budget dramas with some terror factor - pride and fight story. Switch the fire with - for example - struggling with stopping a comet and you've got the very same movie :)

Watchable however, nice blockbuster.

A very good picture of a disaster about the heroic profession of firefighters.

This was very well shot, and although the story's concept was awesome, it was way too long at 131 mins with some long dragged out and unnecessary scenes. The slow pacing didn't help either. You'd think with three writers the screenplay would be tight, but it was riddled with plot and technical issues, some laughable logic, and tons of ridiculous dialogue. Romans character was annoying, and there was too much "Top Gun" music and slow-mo scenes that were cringeworthy. Still, a decent one-time watch, especially for the stunning visuals. It's a generous 6/10 from me.

I do think it's a pretty good movie that I seen. The story is pretty good with firefighter goal is to stop the fire and save the villagers. It builds up really well with the characters and the disaster of the fire. The movie is pretty long and could be trimmed by cutting scenes that is not necessary to the plot. A couple plotlines that is easily predictable and is rather generic for the most about. The strongest part is the suspense on how the characters trying to figured out how to save everyone and to protect people from the dangers of the fire. It contains great special effects of the fire and other things.

It's a pretty good Russian disaster movie.
