TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Mr. Jones In an era where the words "based on a true story" can give seasoned filmgoers a sinking feeling, however, this is a film where the complications and messiness of reality add genuine heft to the drama. Only the Brave is a slow build that follows a group of fire fighters in Arizona where the surrounding forests are susceptible to wildfires. Despite its inevitable conclusion, you will follow this story every step of the way and be crushed when the final scenes play out. It will held your attention and got you in the "feels" on more than one occasion. The movie has a superb ensemble cast of actors in pretty much all of the roles. Highly recommended. 8/10

alexing "Only the Brave" for lack of better words, hit like a kick to the groin. It was not a magnificent display of cinematic talent I admit, but I felt immensely invested in the characters I got to know over a very short course of time, the way I would usually feel invested in a good TV-Series protagonist after multiple seasons. I felt the acting was a big part of me becoming so close to them, and the story itself is even more powerful. As a non-American I have never heard of the incident and fate of the Granite Mountain Hotshots prior to watching the film, and therefore my reaction to the story unveiling and the bitter end were completely genuine and non-biased. The film does make use of some very popular and familiar clichés- the coming together of a team, the new guy getting a hard time, but I found them less off putting than I usually would. Joseph Kosinski managed to give me, the feeling of disorientation and complete panic through his directing and the cinematic direction he chose to take. As someone who has experienced similar event in life to those shown on the screen I have to admit it was extremely genuine, I felt the hair on the back on my neck stand and my palms getting sweaty on multiple occasion, I could almost feel the heat and breath in smoke, as "Donut" stumbled through the smoke looking for a break in the fire, a clear path to safety. It was my favorite scene in the movie and in many ways it summed up the power behind brotherhood, and was the second time in his life he was shown how a brother would never abandon him and will give him a chance at survival.This is the focal point of the film in my opinion: Brotherhood. Not sacrifice, not bravery, but the selflessness of a bond between brothers. The lucky ones among us get to experience it, as I did and I suspect that was the reason I felt I was on the receiving end of a bolt of lightning on a clear day as I watched the events unfolding on the screen. Death is but a single event in course of one's life, but a brotherhood lives forever. This film is a must.

ash_brooke48 If for any reason you forgot how incredible of an actress Jennifer Connelly is, for that reason alone, you should watch this film. Also, don't expect to watch and not shed tears.

graves-scott Not because it's so engaging. But because the movie will be in the middle of a fire and without warning the fire is over, the men are home and arguing with their women. It jumps from scene to scene without so much as a warning. I actually thought it was doing flashbacks for a bit because the scenes were so disjointed. So if you want to watch this movie and understand what is going on throughout you can't get up to get a drink or you will be lost.
