So few comments for this film! A film about which its viewers have wildly different views! (POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD, SO BE YE ADVISED; HERE ENDETH THE WARNING.)
Me, personally, I enjoyed it at the theatre, but I thought the ending was way too neat and tidy. The plot was already a little far-fetched anyway, stretching credibility to the breaking point. Would a fireman, someone devoted to saving lives and keeping people from harm...would a fireman really turn to assassination as a method of revenge? Not just assassination, but incredibly elaborate assassinations; these murders required incredibly intricate planning and exquisite timing. How did he manage it? Did he have a detailed appointment schedule for these men? How did he know exactly when they would show up at the right place? How did he get into their homes without attracting any attention? (Okay, that one's not so hard to swallow.)
Not to mention the fact that, darn it, I wanted to see more of the firefighting action and less of the subplot. I didn't care about the corrupt mayor or any of that. I wanted fire. I love fire. I want to burn the world! Everything should burn! BURN IT ALL!
