Backdraft vurderinger og anmeldelser
- flavo4326. november 2025Backdraft is a gripping and emotionally charged action drama that captures the intensity, camaraderie, and danger of firefighting in Chicago. The brotherly rivalry at the heart of the story feels authentic—firefighting is often a family legacy, and the film underscores this with the tragic passing of the brothers' father, whose legacy looms over everything. The depiction of fires themselves is nothing short of spectacular, with practical effects that make each blaze feel alive, unpredictable, and terrifying in the best cinematic way. The film also dips into the world of arson investigation, offering a compelling mystery element that adds depth beyond the action. While the corruption storyline may be uncomfortable, it’s sadly one of the more realistic aspects and gives the film a grounded emotional weight. Exciting, fast-paced, and filled with both triumph and tragedy, Backdraft remains one of the most memorable firefighter films ever made—equal parts entertainment, suspense, and heartfelt drama.
- Richard17. oktober 2025This one’s pure ‘90s adrenaline, Ron Howard directing like he’s trying to win an Oscar and a fireman calendar shoot in the same film. Saw it in the cinema and the flames practically licked the screen. Rewatching it now, it’s gloriously cheesy, emotionally earnest and still kind of awesome. The drama is soap level, the dialogue occasionally laughable, but the cast sells it and the fire? Still terrifying. Still beautiful.

- ርልዪረ31. mars 2025Ron Howard's 1991 drama "Backdraft" doesn't try to tread any new ground but instead executed an emotional story centered around the mysterious cases of arson going on around the city of Chicago and the firefighters answering the call, while the intense relationship between two brothers acts as the heart of the film. William Baldwin and Kurt Russell really sell the tumultuous relationship between Brian and Stephen as the youngest is looking to prove himself as a man by trying to be a firefighter, while the eldest is a stubborn, reckless, and broken man who uses his work as a firefighter to cope and is willing to put himself in complete danger to save others without realizing the threat it poses to his own team. The film really does create some captivating action scenes as the fires they encounter seem big, bold, and overall terrifying, and the film acts as a love letter to the men brave enough to fight fires for the protection of its citizens but also a romance letter to fire itself and the beauty within the horror. While the acting can sometimes be hammed up and Hans Zimmer's score seems more suited for a superhero film, the mystery surrounding the fires is very compelling and will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This a film that reminds us of the risks these brave individuals take in order to keep us safe and the sacrifices of their own personal lives for our personal safety.
