An unexpected masterpiece

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

It's pretty obvious that the director has numerous Oscar nominations for cinematography, because the visuals look pretty spectacular. This in of itself makes the movie entertaining to watch, which is OK for a film that's really only intended to be a basic action flick. Forsythe, Amis and Glen do a good job helping Howie Long through the scenes. Even though he can't really act, Howie's likability and physical prowess make him fun to watch. I could easily delve into the problems of this film (which are numerous), but if you go in with very low expectations, you may come out pleasantly surprised. Firestorm is a fun little action flick with great visuals you can watch on a rainy day. It's certainly no worse than some of the other films of the same genre.

"Firestorm" is one big convoluted mess. It really is nothing more than a hunted in the woods movie, with really bad c.g.i. fires everywhere. Howie Long and especially Scott Glenn, are totally wasted by a script that pulls one implausible stunt after another as our heroes escape cliffhanger after cliffhanger. There is little character development, so right away the entire production becomes a "so what". If you like films that insult your intelligence, then "Firestorm" is for you. If however, you demand some believability in your entertainment then this is one to avoid for certain. Ridiculous stunts do not a movie make. Beware! - MERK

I've seen worse and of course I've seen better. I enjoyed Backdraft, and I figured this was just Backdraft in the woods. It was just what I expected, a cheesy action movie, with "witty" lines and a totally off the wall villain. William Forsythe is one of my favorite "villain" actors, and he does not disappoint. There's something about him that's really creepy. Favorite line? "Heeeeeeeeeeeeey smokejumpah! You still alive?" If you're looking for a B movie that has pretty good action scenes and bad dialogue, this is the one for you. The fire scenes were actually quite good too. Great improbable stunts too.Too bad Howie didn't take his shirt off, I would have given it another star.

Firestorm is an good action film that casts Howie Long, Scott Glenn, William Forsythe, Suzy Amis, Barry Pepper, and Vladimir Kulich! The acting by all of these actors is very good. Long was very good in the film. Forsythe and Kulich were excellent in this film. The action is really good and the fire scenes are really are really excellent. The film is very exciting and the music by J. Peter Robinson is good. The film is directed by underrated film maker Dean Semler and in My opinion he did a fine job. This is a good and thrilling film. If you like Howie Long, Scott Glenn, William Forsythe and the rest of the cast I've mentioned above and exciting non-stop action films then I Strongly recommend this film!
