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,…). On top of that, this movie went beyond your average action flick and I really enjoyed the realistic approach which made the whole thing much more entertaining to watch. However, they did make a couple of mistakes though. First of all, the whole thing felt pretty random and there was sometimes a lack of transition between various scenes. However, a bigger issue was the inclusion of the private lives of 2 firefighters. Of course, it was rather expected but it didn’t work well with the rest of the movie. It’s too bad because the other scenes when you get to see the firefighters socializing outside their work were actually fine. Anyway, as I mentioned before, I didn’t know it was actually based on a true story and I was really flabbergasted when they killed off pretty much this whole team of firefighters. Of course, it made sense since it was what happened in real life but it would have been a really bold move if it would have been a fiction. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
