THE worst movie I have seen this year

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2004)

Man on Fire was edited like a two and a half our long trailer. There is no doubt it induced at least 100 seizures with its ungodly excess of cuts. The makers miserably failed in copying such fatastic films as City of god and Ammores Perros with its documentary style hand held camera work. This style did not gel with the story. The movie attempted to be Mel Gibson's Ransom and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Collateral Damage at the same time. The contrast was so apparent that the movie could have easily been split into two equally turd-like motion pictures. I can accept that some people may have enjoyed this "movie" but it is not acceptable for me to betray my movie-going honor by saying Man on Fire had potential. The actinf talent was there but I refuse to say this alone makes a decent movie. Every other aspect was beyond repair. Please save your time and money.
