After a while they all start to morph into one so while watching Here's another "Based on the Incredible True Story" movie so get the tissues ready. Here's another "Based on the Incredible True Story" movie so get the tissues ready. Be sure to see this film on a movie screen to get the full effect of the firefighters, the fires and what made these men so brave! Cast: Josh Brolin, Jennifer Connelly, Jeff Bridges, Mills Tyler, James Badge Dale, Taylor Kitsch Director: Joseph Kosinski Screenwriters: Ken Nolan, Eric Warren Singer PG-13 2 hours 13 minutes … Expand “Only the Brave” is such a good movie that not a person left the auditorium during the end credits even after they showed the real firefighters and who played them. I knew very little about the real story this is based on but the screenplay by Ken Nolan and Eric Warren Singer, along with the directing by Joseph Kosinski and the production values, especially the fire scenes, along with the excellent cast, makes it all real. Just watching this film as the California fires rage on taking everything in its way makes this a must see film to understand what is happening there. The fire scenes and how quickly a fire can overtake acres of land and the many ways firefighters end, or at least delay, the destruction fire can do are total. Yes there is a Hollywood cliché here and there but even they ring true. With a team of 20 men plus spouses, kids, in-laws, friends, it is pretty hard to get to know everyone in this 2 hours plus film but we met enough of the men and their interactions plus a few of the ‘civilians’ that draw you into every moment of the film and the people involved. “Only the Brave” is the true story of the ‘Granite Mountain Hotshots’ who fought a fire in Arizona in 2013 that killed more firefighters at one time except for 9/11. Though Josh Brolin almost always gets excellent reviews he doesn’t seem to be able to get to the highest level of stardom and he deserves to as his role as the real Eric Marsh shows that he does. It certainly was for me and far from being boring. “Only the Brave” is not the sort of movie I would go to see but I did and I will tell all others who wouldn’t go see a picture like this go for it and those who are into films like this you got a winner! Aside from being pure entertainment, along with suspense and based on a true story, “Only the Brave” is not the sort of movie I would go to see but I did and I will tell all others who wouldn’t go see a picture like this go for it and those who are into films like this you got a winner! Aside from being pure entertainment, along with suspense and based on a true story, this is also educational in many ways regarding fires and fighting them. You don't want to look away from the screen for more than a few seconds since the movie is too addicting in its own way. The movie's idea was already fantastic Joseph Kosinski merely needed to polish it, which he did admirably. Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, and the rest of the actors performed admirably in the film. The film was produced intentionally sentimental by director Joseph Kosinski, who also made sure that the audience would cry at the film's climax. This is one of those great movies that succeeds on every front imaginable. ![]() The film was produced intentionally sentimental by Every day, firefighters put their lives in danger to save others, and in 2013, the valiant Granite Mountain Hotshots did the same.
