Firefighting eulogy
LADDER 49 feels very much like the successor to BACKDRAFT, although it’s not quite as good as that earlier movie. This one is another eulogy to the bravery and sacrifice of America’s firefighters, who we witness tackling a variety of blazes that often result in death or serious injury for those who step up. The format of the film, which is told in flashback from the point of view of a trapped firefighter, isn’t quite perfect, but there’s another ensemble cast giving it a go and the fiery set-pieces are suitably well-staged with just the right amount of pyrotechnic effects.
