Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The result is 93 very long minutes' worth of admirably committed actors putting themselves through the emotional wringer to very little end. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Phelan makes nice use of the New York locations, but all the trees in Central Park can't make up for a clichéd script and characters who speak entirely in platitudes. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Even if it ends on a hopeful note, this is a feel-bad movie that leaves a bitter aftertaste. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

A painfully sincere indie drama that isn't content to evoke only the misery of 9/11 -- it has to reference TWA Flight 800 for extra grief. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

At least Into The Fire can't be accused of misleading audiences. From its overwrought opening narration to early shots of an empty Ferris wheel, it promises to be a dour, pretentious, humorless time-waster, and it doggedly makes good on that promise. Read full review

If there's an element of Into the Fire that isn't rank and offensive, I've failed to find it. Read full review

Into the Fire is a serious attempt to depict the effects of tragedy on some ordinary New Yorkers. I found it convincing and quite moving. The acting and direction were brilliant. The bad reviews this film has received seem to me a cover-the-eyes avoidance- response to naked reality.

Boring pretentious drivel. A complete waste of time.
