Masterful Movie
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

At first I thought I would not love this movie. I thought I might be just wasting my time. Since I had no choice but to watch this, so i gave it a try. at the start i was kinda interested. the job of firemen is not that easy and how they suffered and put in danger their lives to save people. This is a kind of movie that deserves to be watched. Really. Almost all genre are there.. There's suspense, thriller, drama and even comedy. Acting was good and so the production is believable. really. go watch this movie and enjoy as i did. ignore those negative comments about this movie because i watched it and i liked it, i recommended it to a friend and he liked it as well...

"Out of Inferno" turned out to be somewhat similar, if not a little bit better than "Backdraft". Why? Well, this was pure action and thrills, whereas "Backdraft" was weighed down by drama and a somewhat laughable story.Imagine a towering commercial building set ablaze with nowhere to run, whilst fire is consuming the lower levels, but also spreading on the levels above you. Then you have "Out of Inferno".The movie was quick to pick up pace and keep going at that pace, not really becoming dull or boring at any point.However, one thing did puzzle me, since this was a Hong Kong movie, why was it shot on location in Thailand and China? It would have made more sense had it been filmed on location in Hong Kong, also by bringing more familiarity to us who are familiar with the places in Hong Kong (as I have lived there), but instead they opted to shoot in two different non-related places. That was just stupid.That being said, then the performances in "Out of Inferno" was quite good, and there were some pretty big names to the cast list, some Hong Kong heavyweighters, if you will. Ching Wan Lau, Louis Koo and Angelica Lee performed quite nicely together in this movie.However, for a Pang brothers movie, then "Out of Inferno" wasn't quite up to their usual standards. For some reason, perhaps it is just my own personal opinion, then they make horror and thrillers better than they make action movies.The name of the movie was a little bit ridiculous, but hey, that is just a matter of personal preference, of course."Out of Inferno" is well worth a watch if you enjoy Asian cinema.

First off, i was attracted by the A list actors who has always given their best in acting and a good selection of their scripts but boy was i wrong. This movie is yet another colonization of good movies by China! It seems that it is inevitable as A list actors choose money over art! First it was Andy Lau who takes up any and everything he can get from China, then it was Stephan Chow and now Louise Khoo, what a disgrace to the movie industry.I'm sorry if readers feel this is a hate comment but i speak the truth. China movie industry has not improve a dart bit through out the years. If China wants to improve on their artistic culture perhaps they should first liberalized the industry and improve their moral decay. Shame on these HK actors with so much experience and talent fallen prey to greed!!! HK pls choose your partners wisely!

One of the worst movies i have ever seen. Pointles plot - i just don't have words to describe this piece of crap. Fire fighters are running around like headless chickens. And what the hell? Why firefighter had to drop lift to them? I laughed when those guys put rope around their own neck! Nice job! I don't understand - that building claimed to be one of the best secured against fire. Then little accident happened. There were no fire extinguishers around. There were almost none fire sprinklers around there. Okey.. There were 1 or 2 but those stopped working when water pump died. I guess that this was made on China too. Okey- pointless movie. So much drama out of nothing and boring script.
