As someone from East New York, apartments donโt really look like that. I donโt understand why they kept showing almost every apartment as run-down and ready to be turned into rubble, but thatโs not how it really is, which diluted the immersion for me as a New Yorker. Iโve heard the movie was based on a book from the โ80s, and during that time, Iโd believe it, but the movie seems to take place in recent times, so I donโt get that decision. Other than that, the sequence of scenes felt sloppy and a little random. I canโt speak on the experience of an FDNY EMT, but a dead body in the locker? Really? I understand hazing happens in the FDNY from stories Iโve heard, but that seems like a stretch. Give it a watch if you donโt mind some tacky clichรฉs, since the acting by Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan is well done
