The movie depicts the life and career of wildly controversial rock 'n' roll star Jerry Lee Lewis, a saintly sinner, a world-wise naïf, a skilled performer with zero sense of discipline, a loving husband who uses his wife for a punching bag.

Ryder and Quaid seem to be in two different movies, but Baldwin is brilliant.

Surely contains some quality components, but the movie as a whole may leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth.

Fire is a fascinating, often terribly compelling failure. Much like Lewis's life, I suppose.
