No Escapes

Good story, has some humor. I recommend to watch this film.

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.

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.

Impressing, astonishing, frighteningly beautiful shots of forest fires. Also an incredible scene of a woman giving birth stuck in a burning bus. Good acting, some humor here and there. But altogether a quite conventional hero and catastrophy story with stereotypical antiheros on the firefighter team and a hardly innovative father-daughter-son in law love and family drama and pathetic slow motion hero shots and patriotic vibes that remind of Armageddon and its likes. But still very entertaining and grippling due to the very worthwhile fire images and a duty that is unarguably indeed very heroic.
