Review of Man on Fire (2004) by Matthew H — 11 Nov 2013
Vehicular-Finger-Torture FTW!!! Man on Fire is great. I'd put it right up there with other great kidnapping caper flicks such as Ransom, Taken, The Big Hit, Suicide Kings & Nick of Time. I dig Tony Scott's movies.
He and Denzel seem to have a Scorsese-Deniro/Decaprio partnership going on working together on multiple projects, and this is one of the stand outs. This reminds me of an earlier movie he directed called REVENGE.
Denzel's character becomes attached to his assignment aka adorable Dakota Fanning and when she gets kidnapped and he recovers from a vicious shoot out he reeks revenge on those responsible. His shady past is brought to light and the extents he'll reach to achieve his goal shock even the villains.
Watch this movie... twice!
