    The result is 93 very long minutes' worth of admirably committed actors putting themselves through the emotional wringer to very little end.
  2. Phelan makes nice use of the New York locations, but all the trees in Central Park can't make up for a clichéd script and characters who speak entirely in platitudes.
  3. Even if it ends on a hopeful note, this is a feel-bad movie that leaves a bitter aftertaste.

    Into the Fire is a serious attempt to depict the effects of tragedy on some ordinary New Yorkers. I found it convincing and quite moving. The acting and direction were brilliant. The bad reviews this film has received seem to me a cover-the-eyes avoidance- response to naked reality. Expand

    Boring pretentious drivel. A complete waste of time.
