Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2011)

Man On Fire is one of my personal favourites. The story is simple. Creasy is a former soldier of fortune who is burnt out and tired of life. a alcholic Creasy is looking for two things either to find a reason to live. Or a reason to kill himself and that end might come sooner then later. Creasy visits his best friend a former soldier named Rayburn who is rich and well connected in Mexico. His advice to Creasy is simple find a job and stay awhile enjoy the air in Mexico. Rayburn helps Creasy land a job as a bodyguard to the Ramos family His job is to protect the girl Pita. It's not easy as Pita develops a crush on Creasy and she soon gets a case of hero worship to go along with the crush. When her parents leave to go on a business vacation she is left alone with Creasy and the other servants to look after her. during this time Creasy and Pita bond and soon their is a close relationship between them Creasy has found the daughter he never had and Pita the hero she always wanted. When A kidnapping attempt happens Creasy is shot and badly Wounded trying to save Pita and he kills two of the kidnappers but not before being wounded and left to die. When he wakes from a coma he is told Pita is dead a attempt to lay a trap for the kidnappers backfired and left two of them dead. And They told them Pita will die for the deception.Creasy is Enraged and goes to work killing everyone involved no matter who it is or how powerful they are Creasy WILL kill them. The ending is unexpected with a few nice twists and turns but the ending will hit with a Emotional Shock as we see Creasy pay the price for his war. Action packed with a little drama and some humour makes this one a memorable film.
