Tom 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.

munitzs It could be a very lame poor parody of fire disaster films, but has not a jot of wit or intelligence.Poor camera work - some of it lifted from stock footage or other movies.Acting is incredibly lame.Scripting abysmal.Direction atrocious.Everything about this movie sucks big time.Whoever participated should be ashamed, and should be banned from movies for ever! One of the worst - no redeeming features.2 stars for some interesting pictures of 1960s fire engines.

timothytippins This movie is a page out of movie history, it first came out as 'Striking distance' the cop car chase scene in the beginning is exactly the same as the chase scene in 'Striking distance' complete with the cars rolling down the embankment at the end of the chase (I thought the bad guy was going to get out and shoot Ice T). Oh by the way, what happens to Ice T later on in the movie? . Then as the movie progresses, it turns into 'City on fire' a disastrous disaster movie from 1979 complete with scenes right out of 'City of fire'. I mean the actual scenes in 'City on fire' were cut and pasted into 'Ablaze'. Like the scene where the nurse opens the closet door and gets smoked. I wonder how they got away with that? I was waiting for Shelly Winters to make a cameo. (They could of cut and pasted her to!). What a Bomb!

srsp24 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.
