Ladder 49 is an incredible story that takes us into the life of fire fighters and how they put everything on the line in order to save one life. The story was told in retrospect from Joaquin Phoenix's point of view.... Full review

Great movie! Ladder 49 is routine in most respects This is primarily a strong emotional drama about the bond between brothers (and sisters) in the service, not so much an action adventure or disaster film. ... Full Review

Let me reiterate: This movie is dull, horribly dull with no actor having any type of pizzaz to keep an audience member awake. This movie comes in at a boring two stars out of five. He is at best a good supporting actor. ... Full Review

CASS' CONCLUSION The only things impressive about Ladder 49 were the fire and rescue scenes. Okay, now this movie is really getting interesting. I have the utmost respect firemen and policemen, which is why I was so disappointed with this movie. ... Full Review

In "Ladder 49," fires smolder and rage and generally act in a far more lively and persuasive fashion than any of the men struggling to put them out. ... Full Review

Urban Cinefile
Phoenix gives a superb multi-layered performance, and its credit to him that the film elicits such emotional response. We are there for the happy moments and the tragedies: his wedding, the birth of his first child, and the tragedy when a close friend is killed on the job. ... Full Review
