Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A documentary about Detroit told through the eyes of firefighters charged with the thankless task of saving a city that many have written off as dead.”

Poster: B-

Review: A simple, evocative design that needs more flourish to sell a film about firefighters. The tagline, in the current economic environment for Detroit, is misleading.

Trailer: C+

Review: The trailer doesn’t quite sell the dramatic importance of the situation in Detroit. While it could focus more on the crumbling nature of the city’s financial issues, its focus on a few snippets of situational dialogue never elevates the subject.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
