Product Description
An ex-government operative haunted by the past finds redemption protecting the child of a wealthy Mexican family.
Amazon.com
Style trumps substance in Man on Fire, a slick, brooding reunion of Crimson Tide star Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott. The ominous, crime-ridden setting is Mexico City, where a dour, alcoholic warrior with a mysterious Black Ops past (Washington) seeks redemption as the devoted bodyguard of a lovable 9-year-old girl (the precociously gifted Dakota Fanning), then responds with predictable fury when she is kidnapped. Prolific screenwriter Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, L.A. Confidential) sets a solid emotional foundation for Washington's tormented character, and Scott's stylistic excess compensates for a distended plot that's both repellently violent and viscerally absorbing. Among Scott's more distracting techniques is the use of free-roaming, comic-bookish subtitles... even when they're unnecessary! Adapted from a novel by A.J. Quinnell and previously filmed as a 1987 vehicle for Scott Glenn, Man on Fire is roughly on par with Scott's similar 1990 film Revenge, efficiently satisfying Washington's incendiary bloodlust under a heavy blanket of humid, doom-laden atmosphere. --Jeff Shannon

 Denzel at his finest August 22, 2010
Jimmy
One of the greatest movies of all time. "Creasy's art is death! He's about to paint his master-piece"!
Good movie, didn't like the ending though July 16, 2010
Matt (MS)
I didn't like the ending, so I only gave it 4 stars. I figured this would the "happy ending" movie, but it wasn't. Warning: this movie probably shouldn't be watched by those under 13.
Classic Kidnapping Film July 13, 2010
LibraLove (Austin, TX)
Great story! Great acting by many fine actors. Not to be missed for suspense and a view of Mexico City like never before.
You will be her father now... July 6, 2010

Just a quick note to say that I love this movie. I cry at the end every time and I have watched it over and over to fully understand all the implications of Creasy's journey. The music is amazing and I have purchased the cd. The same composer was used in Spy Game so you can recognize the music.
There is a double dvd of this movie that will show you all the deleted scenes and how the movie was made. Be sure to get this instead of the one dvd.
Dakota really held her own against Denzel. Great movie.
Excellent Movie May 4, 2010
M. Weber (Pittsburgh, PA)
This may be my favorite movie of all time and I'm not sure why this did not get more accolades. I think Denzel was better in Man on Fire then he was in Training Day. It is a very gritty and raw movie, which I think sometimes scares away the critics, but everything was top notch in this film . . . and Christoper Walken is always a plus. I've watched this movie many times and love it every time I watch it.
