Put a Skull T-Shirt on Denzel Washington.

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2004)

Man on Fire was a better vigilante film than the first two Punisher films.
Call Denzel Washington Frank Castle. Denzel puts out the quality performance that the audience expects from him. Christopher Walken, while not present through most of the film, has his pure Walken moment when he is asked why Creasy hunts down the kidnappers.
The film is rather long on playing time . . . however, the audience endures many highs and lows . . . the twists are to be expected. From Creasy's first day on the job, we are treated to a worthwhile ride to the very finish.
