I was rather disappointed with "Fire Boys". Solely as a drama depicting firefighters an audience can most definitely find better in others such as Touchstone Pictures' "Ladder 49", or even TVB's "Burning Flames". The lack of realism in the fire fighting scenes shows great disrepect for the profession. I strongly doubt any fire fighters in the world would knowingly enter a flaming school without face shields and oxygen masks in place.

As for the acting, well lets just say it could have been better from the leading male and the overall tone of "Fire Boys" was rather... monotone. It doesn't deliver the gripping fear, edge of your seat suspense and the massive relieve an audience might get in associating with a fire fighting drama. In all fairness fire fighting is obiviously not just about the glamorous and heroic. There should be a careful balance in the portrayal. However, "Fire Boys" didn't deliver any of the excitement making what could have been a radiant flame to a smothering one.
