Only the Brave (Granite Mountain Hotshots)

An average movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I was quite eager to check it out. To be honest, I have to admit that I didn’t know before watching the damned thing that it was actually based on a real story. Anyway, it turned out to be a surprisingly topical movie since massive wildfires are increasing all over the world (USA, Brazil, Russia,…).
