Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The story of Jack Morrison (Joaquin Phoenix), a guy so emotionally uncomplicated and unquestioningly dedicated to rescuing people he might have been raised by Saint Bernards.

rotten:
Even the best scenes feel canned, secondhand, packaged. We've seen this all before.
– Desson Thomson,

fresh:
Offers audiences a real rarity in theaters these days: a good, honest cry.

fresh:
Ladder 49 might have been an oversized Hollywood dazzler. Phoenix keeps it firmly and modestly on a human scale.

A serviceable testament to the firemen who would bravely risk their lives to protect the safety of others, etc., etc.
