Critics Consensus: It's not particularly deep, but Backdraft is a strong action movie with exceptional special effects.

Reviews

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Akos Peterbencze

Backdraft is an old-school flick filled with masculinity and heroism, which might feel toxic and over-the-top at times, but it’s still satisfying.

In Universal's Backdraft, Ron Howard establishes that he can get the best actors in Hollywood to do work completely beneath their talents.

FULL REVIEW

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Rene Jordan

Backdraft is a well-intentioned film, very solid, and fierily entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

The flames, in fact, have more personality than any of the actors.

[Howard] gives the fire fighting scenes a satisfying feel of terror. But the psychological portraits of the fire fighters and the arson mystery that dominate the film are flimsy, like an art student's dutifully crafted reproductions of the great masters.
