It was good however,feel a few changes might of made this better..
It had clichés,plotholes & parts might feel contrived.
Although love Fiona in past work,she was miscast for this part.
The CGI was decent enough to draw you into the fire storyline,however some dialog & such failed occasionally.
The cinematography felt low quality,but have seen worse in productions.
Overall acting & casting was ok,was hoping Lance H would of had a more pivotal role.
This movie was poorly marketed & considering enjoy Peter F movies,plus him having major involvement such as directing that's unfortunate.
This movie is worth seeing-even once.. It brings family,faith & survival during a desperate time.

As a former Firefighter/EMT I found this film to be infuriating, especially because it was based on a true story! After fighting numerous wildfires in the backcountry, a firefighter's worst nightmare is dealing with unprepared citizens and an inept Incident Commander that endangered the lives of those employees & citizens who were properly trained.
If the details presented were accurate, the family portrayed should be chastised for their ignorance while residing in the obviously heavily wooded area! Using Google to research emergency procedures should have been a priority BEFORE A FIRE 🔥! Being insured, clearing defensive space & preparing a GO BAG are priorities! Preparation is everything.

This film was certainly predictable but they had to take you through everything that happens to people in fires. I cried more than half of the movie. The emotional factor of this movie calls for a 10 but I had to lower it for predictability...even though it's probably unavoidable in a film like this.
I think also now because of the recently California fires, this movie might be more highly rated. I was tense probably 85% of the movie! Imagine how the real people feel when real fire is approaching devilishly fast to eat up their home and them inside of it. I couldn't even imagine. But, as a person who hasn't lived through wildfires, I feel this film did a good job explaining to me all of the terrible things that happen. Also, the beautiful things, like help and rescue teams, firefighters, 911 service. I recommend this movie if you're into suspense and emotional drama.

Oh goodness. Why didn't somebody stop them!
The story in its essence was very good, however the delivery is idiotic. Over directed in the most silly, childish ways; melodrama past any point of sanity, and poorly written so that it loses all sense of reality. In fact, this should have been fantastic because the essence of the survival story is extraordinary, but because the writing is so lacking, and the direction is horrifically childish, over the top and silly, they lost all the power it should have had. They should have studied Ron Howard's Backdraft to understand the power of a "fire" movie and what it could have been, not whatever they looked at as their example.
This was embarrassingly bad, and for no good reason other than too much ego to go hire a real, decent Director, and Writer. Even an excellent Director could have worked with this idiotic script and made it work. It would have been an entirely different film. Sad they didn't do that.

No pun intended - I thought at first the movie was made in the 80s - the title and the fact Lance Henriksen is one of the "leads". I was wrong in the end - but I did like what I got served. Well liked as in I think it was very well made. Because what we do get is quite harrowing. And yes suspension of disbelief is quite important here. And accepting that some things may feel a bit like cliches ... but they still work.
I have met Peter Faccinelli at a convention and he seemed very content and happy with the movie. And considering the cast and the struggle/fight for life we see there ... something we can all relate to ... Will of life ... drama baby ... it all works, depending on how much slack you want to cut it.
