This movie is on FIRE!

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2005)

Very mild spoilers
This movie was great from start to finish. First of all the acting is superb. Denzel gives one of his most powerful performances ever on screen, he truly sets the screen on fire. Cutie-pie Dakota Fanning does a great job too, that little girl is such a great actress already it freaks me out, she has the acting chops of somebody twice her age! The story is very solid, and the way he gets back at the bad guys, in this case the corrupt Mexican officials, you just have to get up out of your chair and cheer for this guy. Christopher Walken, one of the best actors ever does not disappoint either but could've been given a better role. Marc Anthony is decent, too, I mean for the kind of role he was given he did a good job, although if you're a fan of his, his character might disappoint you towards the end. The director did a pretty good job with the scenery and editing too, the Japanese-styled subtitles, the color palettes, it reminded me a lot of "Traffic" which I also loved. Denzel's and Dakota's Spanish is pretty good too, I might add. A must-see! ten out of ten!
