thiago S @Thiagostone Jun 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Mireille T @RT34033469 Jun 19 Great production for that genre of movie considering it was made in 1974. And of course the cast....top!!!! Its like a good scary roller coaster ride..a 3 hour long one. See more mark G @Mark_Alan_G. Jun 18 Star power like no other, involved in a long drawn out bore of a movie. No really strong written characters which weakens what legends like Newman, McQueen and Holden can do with them others like Dunaway have zero purpose. Weak story cancels out great cast.

Good lesson about the need for spot on electrics in tower blocks. The tragedy at Grenfell Towers , where 72 people were killed, exemplified that. See more Michael W @mawilps Dec 21 This classic disaster movie was really good. Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Vaughn, Richard Chamberlain, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic, intense, and tragic. It's about fighting to survive in a tower on fire. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see.

This really feels like one of the very first true action blockbusters, laying the groundwork for movies like Die Hard more than a decade later. The large ensemble cast, the mix of disaster and action elements, and the escalating tension all make it feel surprisingly modern. The pacing is excellent, the character development is stronger than you’d expect for a disaster film, and the action sequences still hold up remarkably well. The film also isn’t afraid to raise the stakes—several main characters don’t make it, which keeps you genuinely invested and on edge. Of course, a few of the effects shots feel a little dated or campy by today’s standards, but considering this was long before CGI or the sophisticated special effects we take for granted now, it’s actually impressive how well it all comes together. Overall, I’d give this an 8.5 out of 10. It’s a landmark in action cinema, and honestly, if it were released today with the same story and pacing, I think it would still be a hit. Paul Newman and Faye Dunaway were great and Steve McQueen is a PIMP! See more Read all reviews
