Chicago Reader

Visually speaking, the film does pretty well with fire-as-spectacle, less well with everything else (Howard tends to trot out fuzzy-toned Spielbergian backlighting on any pretext).

Backdraft may not be a very good movie, but it sure is great entertainment.

...a top-notch thriller trapped within a poorly-paced and needlessly bloated piece of work...

Visually, pic often is exhilarating, but it's shapeless and dragged down by corny, melodramatic characters and situations.

Ron Howard popcorn-muncher is sappy, not smokin'.

Backdraft is sure to do for fire what The Poseidon Adventure did for water.

Antagony & Ecstasy

Absolutely fantastic setpieces strung along an absolutely dimwitted script.

Time Out

The fire sequences are stunning, and the build-up to them, complete with blaring sirens and bellowed conversations, has an aggressive immediacy.

The spectacular fire sequences, which must have been hellish to film, are powerfully enveloping on screen, thanks especially to the eerie effect of the title.

Ron Howard's film is one of smoke-eaters, crispers, and torches... and it bestows a renewed respect on a profession all too often taken for granted.

Backdraft has some of the raw filmmaking excitement that has been missing from Howard's recent work.
