Slow at the beginning, but picks up the pace as it goes on.

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2004)

The movie, Man on Fire, starring Denzel Washington was a good movie. It could have been better in parts, and it didn't need to be as long as it was, running nearly two and half hours long. The movie is about an ex-CIA operative who becomes a bodyguard to a little girl and her family down in Mexico. When the girl is kidnapped and Washington is nearly murdered in the process, he must then find the people responsible and extract his revenge. Christopher Walken plays Denzel's best friend and mentor; he was great in this film. The movie was slow at the beginning, but gradually picked up the pace as it went along. Overall I gave the film a 6 out of 10.
