If you loved Five Fingers, try Ladder 49
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Five Fingers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ladder 49 is
Baltimore. Winter. A distant siren. Fireman Jack Morrison recalls his twelve years, from green rookie to confident veteran. A series of dangerous blazes and near-misses flashes before him, alongside images of his wife and children. Jay Russell's paean to heroism flirts with melodrama.
