Man On Fire --- Sparkles

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2004)

I did enjoy this movie, over-all, although it seemed as if Denzel Washington's character took a dramatic turn during the movie, from an ex-military man looking for work as a body guard, to a man bent on vengance.
I was glad, however, to find out that the movie was based on a true story once the ending came around. It's good to know things like this have happened in history and that things are being done to stop it.
Although I do like Dakota Fanning and have seen many of her films, she may have been a poor casting decision, given the fact that her character is supposed to be half Mexican. She definitely does not have any Mexican features (dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin). Darker pigmented genes usually dominated liter ones.
