WAIT to rent the DVD. This is not a horrible film nor is it a great film. The special effects are more "Disneyesque" than special. Travolta and Phoenix stroll around for 2.5 hours squandering their talent gawking at numerous blazes. The big problem is a lame script. Character development is absent from the plotline. Upon entering the plot, we soon comprehend that Phoenix is about to die a scorching death. The entire films plays out in flashback format. The female who portrays the wife is a screen revelation, however, the 2.5 hours drag out. The film is somewhat dull and long. Not in the same league as the film Backdraft. Even as the final scene of the funeral plays out underscored by a sappy music and lame song, it fails to trigger any genuine emotional response from the audience. The film is far from being a true tearjerker. Wait for the rental on this one!
