As Good As It Gets

A Masterpiece!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

i just came out of a screening of fire and i have to say its not all bad but its certainly not all good.The Story lacks a little depth and the acting by some the starring actors could be improved. But overall i have to say that i have seen many movies that were rated sky high here at IMDb so thats why i don't give much thought about these rankings.If you here about the storyline you clearly know its going to be an action movie and if you take a look at the cast you could expect this outcome. Many of those young actors need find their own way, which will make the whole movie much better.Nevertheless i liked this movie, as it was good to watch and it had all what you could ask for i an action movie.So Just Go See It and build up your own opinion BD

Fire seems to be one of those movies, that divides people into two groups. The ones that like the movie and the ones that do not understand it.Only voting 1 or 3 stars does not give the movie enough credit. It is what it is, a good German movie produced for the international market. Given the normal budget movies in this category have, which cannot be compared to the ones in the US, they have done a really good job on this one.I like the movie because it does not try to be something completely different and this is what it is all about.hope you found this useful?

This is a tremendous unrealistic movie. Everything is bad. It start swhen the Mercedes front was completely destroyed, after 1 second it was already okay, passing through an impossible roll of situations, and the movie ends with the main character defusing the bomb 1 second before it explodes..... (Classic!! Almost cried.. Wasn't Macgyver available for this movie? Or..Steven Seagal?). But the way he defuse the bomb is the best...I won't tell you! If you are a producer, may be you should watch this movie, to understand everything you must avoid when you're making a movie. Basically, this entire movie.

I'm not much of a reviewer but I watch a lot of movies. I've never seen worse acting or a more unbelievable story than this. This takes "Hokey" to a whole new level. Stay away from this one if you put any value at all on your time. I'm not a big fan of the CSI TV shows but I know the main character, Gary Dourdan from there so I know he at least has the capability to act. In this role it's like every line is strained and what's worse is that everything he says and does is completely, utterly, unrealistic. For instance, if you're outside of a bank that's being robbed and your wife is inside, you're not going to tell some stranger that calls you on someone else's phone that somehow finds it's way into your pocket that your wife is inside the bank and go further to tell him her name. This is just the start, it gets much worse, and it's not limited to him, but I'm not wasting any more of my time on this stinker.Hope you guys find this useful.
