Except for Jack no one else in the film is very well defined, and it often falls back onto types. The actors are good, and make the best of what they've got, but what they've got is very thin.

A fairly routine firefighter drama, with burning-building sequences that more or less all look alike.
October 01, 2004
Offers audiences a real rarity in theaters these days: a good, honest cry.

A well-crafted tribute to the many dedicated firefighters who risk life and limb to make our world a little safer.

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.

Ladder 49 might have been an oversized Hollywood dazzler. Phoenix keeps it firmly and modestly on a human scale.
October 01, 2004
An action drama/weepie that's so busy telling us that its characters are heroes, it forgets that they should be people first.

Even the best scenes feel canned, secondhand, packaged. We've seen this all before.

Unabashed love letter to firefighters everywhere.

...has about the same amount of depth as an article from 'Boy's Life.'

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

It's slick and it honors firefighters as obviously as the first wave of WWII films paid tribute to America's fighting men and women.
