Was a great movie, after the first 30 minutes

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2004)

*** MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ***
Man on Fire was a great movie if you can get past the first 30 minutes. They are important story wise to establish Washingtons character but they sure are slow. Once the incident happen the movie becomes a quest of vengeance and love that Washiongton conveys with perfection. He is sincere when the movie calls for it and is p***ed when it is needed. Dakota Fanning is great in this movie and is one time where she is great and not just cute.
I recommend this movie to any one who likes action movies or a great story. The fact this is based on real events makes you appreciate all the more.
9/10
