I loved this movie and have found Denzel washington to be excellent in the role of the protector. This movie has the key elements that make a film great. Action, suspence, and drama. I recommend it if you are looking to watch a fun action flick with a bit of brainsMan on Fire - babynurse
I don't remember this movie being in theatres in 2004 but it was a great movie. I love Dakota Fanning who did a great job. She is so precocious! I love watching Denzel Washington as well. It was very neat how he was transformed from a silent alcohol addicted sad bitter person to a loving "daddy figure" to Dakota. He was so heroic but I won't say how because you should watch this one and I don't want to give anything away! Even though it was a bit predictable it was a great story! Only downside for me was quite a bit of guns and violence.Denzel does not disappoint - Chrissa
Man on fire is a film that if you write the plot down in detail and show someone who hasn't seen they may easily say this is a drama packed with violence and intent so nothing new there then, but they would be wrong, very wrong.
The film stars Denzel Washington as a bodyguard named Creasy who is called to look after a diplomats daughter as kidnapping is high in that area of Mexico.
Creasy like most his problems but as he learns to love the little girl, portrayed brilliantly by Dakota Fanning, he starts to feel vulnerable and realise that in life self pity is wasted when there is love to give,but when the girl gets kidnapped we learn that Creasy isn't one to lie down and take it and so begins a journey of soul searching and callous vengeance, but there is real depth to this film, a film that shows that blood and love co exist. Its a movie that blends genres and emotions and is something a lot more than just a simple revenge movie,gripping stuff indeed.
