Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Aside from the awesome flames and pyrotechnic scenes of crisis, danger, and part-of-the-job bravery, the movie is a quiet salute; it does its job.

ReelViews -
One could argue that such an approach isn't all bad - after all, it allows us to know and like the characters - but there are times when Ladder 49 gets a little too cute.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The film is less of a drama than a tribute -- an ode, even -- to the spirit and tenacity of firefighters. Its makers hardly bother to explore the lives or motives behind their actions.
|
|
Variety -
It plays, rather, like an old-fashioned, by-the-numbers drama that solidly connects with most of its well-worn cliches.

|
Dallas Observer -
This resolutely old-fashioned movie is less a drama of the streets than a kind of recruiting film.
