- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The script is structurally similar to '21 Grams,' but restrained turns and perceptive direction make this honest rather than manipulative. Read full review
-
"Well-acted yet strangely inert, Fire explores the messy human emotions of grief, but it'd be a lot more resonant if the guy everyone's mourning weren't so fatally perfect, so unforgivably superhuman"
-
"Del Toro is the movie's force field. This is a performance you will not forget"
-
"It is a testament to how well the movie is made that even the most hardened viewer might find himself tearing up at moments -- and you won't have to hate yourself in the morning"
-
"A live-wire performance by Benicio Del Toro sparks an otherwise morose study of loss, addiction and catharsis"
-
"Berry gives a riveting performance, but as a deeply decent man trapped in a hell of his own making, Del Toro gives the kind of career performance Berry gave in 'Monster's Ball.'"
