Who Would You Give Your Life To?

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2006)

I just have to say it, this is an excellent Denzel Washington movie, and I can not believe he did not win the Academy Award for best actor, because he did a splendid job. In the film, Washington plays Creasy, a bodyguard for young Pita, the daughter of rich aristocrats living in Mexico City. His assignment, to protect the girl at all costs, even with his own life.
To help his fledgling business thrive, the girls father sets up a kidnapping, only to see it go all wrong. The money never gets delivered, and the kidnappers are threatening to take the life of little Pita if they do not receive the cash, $10 million.
It is the ultimate sacrifice, as Creasy gives his life to save Pita, as for the kidnappers' wishes. "Man on Fire" is very edgy and dramatic to say the least. The best part is that the film is based on actual events.
This film deserves the best, and here, that is what it gets, which is why 10 out of 10 is the least I can give to a film that shows us if we love someone enough, we are willing to bet our life on them.
