As with politics, vacation destinations, television shows and a multitude of other things that the majority usually go for, I don't generally agree with many movie reviews on IMDb. But for once I do. This movie doesn't even try to be good.Right out of the gate they steal a 10-minute scene frame-for-frame from Striking Distance. I don't mean it's a similar car chase, it's the actual chase from the Bruce Willis movie shot in 1993. Ablaze is a blatant rip off of other films from start to finish.Not worth investing a single minute with let alone the 90 minutes they steal from your life. But at least they're consistent; all they do is steal from something else to put this drivel together. Avoid this mess at all costs.

ablaze is absolutely the wort movie i've seen in years. it is so bad that it comes close to being a parody. but parodies were meant to be absurd, the worst thing about ablaze is that it actually tries to be a serious action movie. i wonder whether the director/producer hung himself after seeing the end result. he should be banned from any film studio for the rest of his life!there is totally nothing positive to mention about this movie: camera-work is a drama. action scenes are totally absurd. the acting is below every possible standard, the average commercials actors, selling loans, is doing a better job than these people. the movie is loaded with bloopers, all over the place.this movie trying to be serious is an absolute insult to the viewer's intelligence, even if the viewer is a complete moron.watching this movie is an absolute waste of time, you could just as well stick your head into the sand for an hour and a half!

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.

May spoil the movie.What, are you crazy? This movie has to be the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. They piece parts together from other shows, mainly Emergency! and video clips from foreign films about fires. I noted a change in fire engines seven times in a 10 minute segment!The first part doesn't even relate to the last part. Where did Ice-T go after the dude set himself on fire in the first scene? Then he just randomly appears at the end? This movie is destined for the fiery pit from which it came.Too many questions, too little time.
