Reviews

Despite its star-studded cast and promising premise, 'Incendiary' (2008) received a mixed reception from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a low rating of 20%, criticizing its disjointed narrative and lack of depth in character development. The film's IMDb rating of 5.8/10 also reflects the general consensus that it falls short of expectations. Some reviewers highlighted Ewan McGregor's poignant performance and the film's emotional impact, but overall, 'Incendiary' struggles to deliver a coherent and compelling story. While it touches on themes of grief, loss, and redemption, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a film that fails to live up to its potential.
