Fair warning: You will ugly-cry through the majority of this movie.
Released in late 2017, this movie’s cast would make you think that it would be a sure-fire hit.
Andie MacDowell, Ben Hardy, James Badge Dale, Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly, Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, and Taylor Kitsch, all directed by Joseph Kosinksi, the guy behind Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, and the upcoming Top Gun sequel.
Instead, Only The Brave disappeared without a trace, as the $38 million production made just $25 million at the worldwide box office.
Thankfully, you’ll be happy to know that you can remedy missing out on it in cinemas, as it has just been added to Netflix.
Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters who risk everything to protect a town from a historic wildfire, the movie mixes amazing performances, some terrifying recreations of the inferno they had to fight, and we’re not kidding when we say you will be BAWLING your eyes out.
While we fully recommend you check out, here are some of the reviews the movie got upon its initial release:
“Only the Brave is a visually splendid, spellbinding, and surreal movie that also happens to be an emotionally shattering, over-the-top ugly-cry for the ages.” – Village Voice
“The acting ensemble has a believable, brotherly chemistry, especially Teller and Taylor Kitsch, playing a troublemaker who initially teases Brendan brutally before the two warm up to each other, forming an adorable bond.” – Washington Post
“Only The Brave feels like the world’s best two-hour beer and/or pick-up truck commercial, and I mean that as a compliment.” – UPROXX
“Moving, majestic and manly, Only the Brave is a nearly perfect rendition of the sort of righteous, heroic entertainment Hollywood routinely built around its best leading men.” – Movie Nation
