Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Leofwine_draca ABLAZE at first seems like a decent, big budget disaster movie until you realise that half the footage has been stolen from other, better movies. Things begin with a blistering car chase lifted from STRIKING DISTANCE before the plot moves into a straight copy of the underrated '70s film CITY ON FIRE, complete with an oil refinery blaze and a rescue-the-patients hospital climax. Not that we should expect much better from director Jim Wynorski, who takes plagiarism to new levels here. Despite the presence of various briefly-used guest stars, the only decent bits of this film are those stolen from prior, better movies, so you'd be better off sticking with them.
gawkygeek i would like to know one and only one thing about this movie, WHY IS ICE-T BILLED SO BOLDLY?!?! he is in the movie for all of 10 seconds and manages to make it to the front cover it is ludicrous to even think that a character so meaningless and replaceable would even be listed in the credits before the first 10. now to continue with the plot, THERE IS NO PLOT fire thats all there is to explain this atrocity of a movie lots of fire and explosions, gas leaks corrupt firemen and mayors. WHAT DID ANY OF IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE REST?! this movie wasn't worth the meager 3 dollars blockbuster charged me to rent it, i believe it should come with a large warning, if you have brain cells do not rent this movie or they will explode. ALL OF THEM!!
srsp24 I felt this movie did a major ripoff of several good movies and T.V. shows. The big car chase scene in the beginning is from "Striking Distsints". I felt like I was ripped off by the writers of this movie. The acting was terrible at best. I also felt that this movie was poor showing of what firefighters do in the real world. I think that the writers should never be aloud to write again. The only good thing about this movie in when it ends. I also felt the movie was slow to progress. The special effects left something to desire.
RLARKT199 This film is a waste of time. Much of the footage was taken from the 1979 film,City on fire,starring Leslie Nielson,. Ice-T had very few lines. Go to the video store and rent the original,City on fire, with better cast. Leave Ablaze alone, not worth watching,a waste of time.
