Ablaze (2002)

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

ablaze is absolutely the wort movie i've seen in years. it is so bad that it comes close to being a parody. but parodies were meant to be absurd, the worst thing about ablaze is that it actually tries to be a serious action movie. i wonder whether the director/producer hung himself after seeing the end result. he should be banned from any film studio for the rest of his life!there is totally nothing positive to mention about this movie: camera-work is a drama. action scenes are totally absurd. the acting is below every possible standard, the average commercials actors, selling loans, is doing a better job than these people. the movie is loaded with bloopers, all over the place.this movie trying to be serious is an absolute insult to the viewer's intelligence, even if the viewer is a complete moron.watching this movie is an absolute waste of time, you could just as well stick your head into the sand for an hour and a half!

Wow. 'Ablaze' was terrible. I just rented it and watched it, and had to find a place to post a review to warn people to STAY AWAY! Bad acting, bad script, horrible special effects, etc. The movie box says something about a serial arsonist being on the loose (*cough*Backdraft*cough*), but that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. It advertises that Tom Arnold and Ice T are the main actors in it...wrong. Ice T is in the movie for less than 5 minutes and makes no impact on the storyline whatsoever, and Arnold really doesn't have more than a dozen speaking lines before he's killed. On a technical note, this movie was made only like 3 years ago, but they're driving a tiller ladder truck that looks like it dates back to the 50's. Half of the apparatus in the movie I'm pretty sure is English anyway. At the house fire, they go into a burning building without SCBAs. And could someone explain how the Captain's brother died? He didn't have major burns, he didn't take in any more smoke than the other guys with him did, but somehow he dies. None of the stuff they're doing makes any sense. If you want a good firefighting movie, go see Ladder 49.

..::**Possible Spoilers**::.. I remember browsing the shelf at Movie World, and me, being a fireman, my eye caught the cover. It looked good. The cover is the only good thing about this piece of trash. I knew something was wrong when you could see the stunt mans "goo". Next thing I know, our "heros" pull up in an outdated piece of crap, and run in with next to no gear on. They would have been just as well of dousing themselves in gasoline before running inside. The plot dissolved after the beginning credits rolled, and after the ending credits, still wonder what happened to the arsonist plot. I think the PFD on their helmets stands for "Pretend Fire Department" because everything they could have done wrong in this movie is done wrong. It's weird how you can leave they leave the station in a Ward, then shows them responding with what looks like European apparatus, and even shows a tiller (where the heck did this come from) and then they pull up to the scene in a totally different rig. In one scene, you can see Jonny and Roy pull up in squad 51 (tv show emergency!) I think they used more stock footage than actual footage they taped themselves. Chessy one liners, innacurate statements, the list goes on and on. This piece of trash should be lit ablaze.

This movie By Far is the Worst Movie I have ever seen. First off it didnt make any sense AT ALL!! Secondly the back of the cover says that there are arsonists going around setting fires when thats not even the plot. Third im a firefighter and once again it is hollywood over exaderating things not even so much with the main fire but when a house burned down thay made this paper airplane that a little kid was playing with just explode into flames and within 5 seconds this kid's room is on fire, thats impossible unless there was gasoline poured all over his room. What else can I say just bad everything the worst script Horrible no-name Actors. There's only one word that can describe this movie. BRUTAL !!!!!!!! Take my advice PLEASE!!!! save youre 7 bucks from renting this movie you could probally find it in someone's garbage for free.
