The story is based on true events and the article in GQ by Sean Flynn called No Exit.We Only the Brave cast members Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly and moreĬolumbia Pictures’ Only the Brave opens in theaters today and tells the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. Far be it from to tell anyone how to say thanks but I personally make it a point to do so because I respect anyone who can do what most of us can not for whatever reason. In that lies the bravery of what these men and women do. Not a job for everyone, these men and women do what ever is necessary to save life and property asking for nothing in return. It is told with a mixture of the harshness of being a firefighter in all categories from structural to Wildland to Hotshots to the gentleness of their homelives. ONLY THE BRAVE is a film that is challenging, humorous, heart thumping and heart breaking all rolled into 133 minutes. Other cast includes Natalie Hall as Natalie Johnson, Forrest Fyre as Mayor Worthington, Jenny Gabrielle as Desiree Steed, Nicholas King as Caden Steed, Barbie Robertson as Marsena Thurston, Jade Kammerman as Stephanie Turbyfill, Pell James as Claire Caldwell and Andie MacDowell as Marvel Steinbrink. The cowboy hat and southern drawl seems to be Bridges new type role and I say hey, if it works. Bridges as Steinbrink clearly cares about Station 7 and Marsh and is always there when anyone needs him.

Having the deal of no children starts to become an issue for the couple causing a strain that adds to an already stressful job. Kitsch as Chris starts out as a guy who is going to make Brendan’s life difficult, that is until the brotherhood kicks in and a deep friendship happens that brings a lightness to the film– so much so that he’s practically an uncle to Brendan’s daughter.Ĭonnelly as Amanda has her horses while husband Marsh is gone on long stretches. Watching this character grow, Teller doesn’t hesitate to show the difficulties that Brendan faced and the emotion of confusion and loss. Even walking in to meet Supe, Teller’s portrayal of Brendan is a broken man that is reaching out to become something bigger than himself.

Choosing to change for the little life that comes into his own motivates him to reach for a goal. Teller as Brendan is a man clearly out of control with his life and on a path of self destruction.
