About this movie

Hard-drinking, burnt-out ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) has given up on life--until his friend Rayburn (Academy Award winner Christopher Walken) gets him a job as a bodyguard to nine-year-old Pita Ramos (Dakota Fanning). Bit by bit, Creasy begins to reclaim his soul, but when Pita is kidnapped, Creasy unleashes a firestorm of apocalyptic vengeance against everyone responsible.

I had watched this during my flight two years ago, and It was one of the best movies you can watch of Denzel Washington's acting. Such iconic scenes, dialogue and everything. There is nothing wrong in the movie, and it leaves you with feelings as the main character must of had. It is worth everything.Literally my most favourite film, and the reason why I got into Denzel Washington's movies. It's as if none of them as long as he is a main character could not go wrong. Great film, Great Cast, Great Scenes, soundtrack and literally could not say one bad thing about the movie. I'm not here to spoil it, and the ending is truly saddening. One last thing, what I enjoy the most about his films is the fact that all of them are realistic or based on a true story, and he nails all of them.

Years best 2004. Denzel does some of his best work in this film. And Fanning as well. Keeps the movie realistic and captivating. So much more could be going on in this film at the same time while he's looking for Fanning and then he finds her unharmed. Such a touching story. If it's a true story or based on true events it makes me almost cry everytime I watch it.

Man on Fire is one of the most memorable, and exciting, revenge thrillers out there. Tony Scott is a genius and the cast of this shoot-em-up classic is outstanding. If you don't like this movie, check your pulse, ensure your heart is still beating and that you are still alive.
