Denzel has done it again!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2004)

Once again, Denzel Washington has turned in an Oscar winning performance. This was a very gritty movie with wry, to the point dialogue. The scenes leading up to the where Denzel becomes the "man on fire" may have seemed a little long, but were necessary in order for the audience to understand Creasy's character and his relationship with Dakota Fanning's Pita. After we learn this, it easy to see why he goes on his killing spree. As for the supporting cast, Dakota Fanning is a great actor for one so young and Christopher Walken is ,as always, fun to watch. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the use of rapid-fire camera shots and blurred shots. Other than that , I believe this will be one of the years best movies.
