Excellent movie!

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2005)

Man on Fire is the ultimate "revenge/justice" movie. Personally, if the rating depended on me I'd give it a 10 out of 10. Many would argue that perhaps the movie was too depressing, because John W. Creasy dies in the end. This is definitely a tragedy, but shows more realism: The good guy doesn't always come out on top. The acting is flawless, and the characters fit their parts perfectly. I loved the film style and it was only surpassed by the soundtrack. The jumpy, edgy movements of the camera and the unnatural colors, along with the music, clashed in an inexplicable way. Harry Gregson-Williams was most definitely the right choice for the music composer. This movie is an essential part of anyone's DVD collection. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you do, even if I did just give away the ending!
