Leave your thoughts about Ladder 49.
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. Kimmel...a film that will likely stand as the great Hollywood tribute to urban firefighters... |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperSmoulders, but the personal story of an American firefighter never catches fire. |
| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntLadder 49 is the most moving, emotion stirring, film of the year. Joaquin Phoenix will break your heart as Jack Morrison. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsGlenn LovellMorrison, trapped beneath burning rubble, reviews his cliche-ridden life. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioWhat's the use spending fifteen bucks on a date when you're going to fall asleep in the theater instead of her apartment? |
| Atlantic City WeeklyLori Hoffman... after hitting me over the head with its conventional approach, I cried uncle and had to admit it did get to me. |
| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanA moving tribute [to firefighters] and an excellent dramatic work. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBecause it is attentive to these human elements, Ladder 49 draws from the action scenes instead of depending on them. Phoenix, Travolta, Barrett and the others are given characters with dimension, so that what happens depends on their decisions, not on the plot. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe heroic firefighters of 9/11 deserve a better tribute than this tiresme and cliche tale. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAside from the awesome flames and pyrotechnic scenes of crisis, danger, and part-of-the-job bravery, the movie is a quiet salute; it does its job. |
