Especially when the lead is a totally f...up character, far better than the usual brave and perfect white angel. Here Charlie Sheen is a terrific ambivalent man, courageous - he risked his life to save a baby boy - and in the same time very dangerous for the people, a psychopath actually. I love this kind of situation, characters, where the audiences don't know how to watch it. Unfortunately most movies are not like this. This scheme of an evil lead character, whose job is genuinely to save and protect, is usually given to a cop, and in that matter, I would have imagined Ray Liotta. How many rogue and ambivalent cops Liotta has played on screen? But here it is a fireman. Not a fireman who gets pleasure to himself by starting fires, no, but only an unbalanced guy.

Excellent B movie where Ray Liotta would have been perfect.
