Great Cast Boring Story
I tuned in because I recognized so many of the faces. I've seen them in other work and I know their individual caliber as actors. I think this film was based on a true story, however, the story is boring. I'm not making light of the real struggles of South Korean firefighters once upon a time. The screenwriter could have done more, whether it was to spark an adrenaline response or pluck out a sympathetic one. I was bored. There was no focus in the cast. Even though it was an ensemble, there was no focus to center the story around, so there were all of these dangling strings. I won't rewatch this film, but I'll stop short of recommending or not recommending others to watch the film. I was bored and found the film forgettable.
