This is a fitting tribute to the brave men who risk immense danger to fight wild fires on a daily basis and their supporting families. The cinematography of the mountain scenery and vistas is stunningly beautiful. I didn't know the story or anything at all about the film and saw it on a pre-view screening before general release in the UK. Josh Brolin had a stand out performance and was totally believable. The film was patiently put together to show the camaraderie and emotional struggles behind the heroics, but this dragged the film to a pedestrian pace when more action shots would have had more appeal. I was shocked by the final scenes especially as this was based on true events. I hope the movie does well.
