(“Daddy’s Home 2” is now playing in a theater near you), I decided to take a While most real-life dramas today are shot cheaply, with little flare, “Only chance and watch some fires, honestly expecting the worst. the Brave” looks more like a Lord of the Rings film. Dramatic cinematography What I found instead was a gripping, epic, emotional film with incredible elevates an already excellent story to magnificence. This is due in part, I believe, visuals, great characters, and an awesome story. to the director’s sci-fi roots, as this is the man who made “Oblivion” with Tom “Only the Brave” tells the real-life tale of the Granite Mountain hotshots, a Cruise and “Tron: Legacy” a few years back.

It puts its charac- find in a full trilogy, through the origin-struggles of the team, their challenges ters in situations I’ve never seen before, brings powerful emotions to the table, working together as they form into an elite squad, and their final battle together. and, most importantly, tells a satisfying, incredible story. In this way, it reminded me a bit of the Dark Knight trilogy. “Only the Brave” is rated PG-13, and is now playing at the Showest 4 in Weatherford. Despite the size of the story, there is so much time spent on the characters.
