Viewing Notes

Giving this a ratings bump for the filmmaking bc I don’t know how they did the rigging for a lot of the intense firefighting scenes. Even tho it’s not a beat for beat remake of Backdraft the movie did remind me of it with all the subplots and melodrama. Cool to see another good Johnny To flick.
