Stirred me enough to want to refute any negative reviews...

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2004)

I just finished watching this movie, Man on Fire. I rented it for the evening and only realized at the end of the movie that it's based on a true story, as it is dedicated to the main character, Creasy. As I looked online for information about this man I came across a very negative review of Man on Fire and was completely surprised. How can anyone not appreciate the poignance of the story-line? I guess everyone's got an opinion, so here's mine:
Man on Fire is one of the best movies I've ever seen, insofar as it's a movie, like Fight Club, that inspired me to shout and I felt emotionally connected to the characters. I haven't come across a plot like this one in my 22 years of movie-watching, nor have I enjoyed such a combination of cinematography and sound-track in one movie so much. Give Man on Fire a try, enjoy it, cry like I did, feel for the characters... hate the bad guy... just watch the movie and support an awesome on-screen creation. Thanks.
