A first rate thriller

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2014)

Tony Scott's Man on Fire (2004)is a superb thriller that was based on real history, while watching this movie what i learned from it this movie is that being kidnapped is worse than it sounds because a stranger can tell you that they are going to give you a ride home when they are not because young kids don't know better and fall for it very easily. The movie stars Denzel Washington as bodyguard John W. Creasy (who was originally played by Scott Glenn in the 1987 version.) who is hired to protect a young girl named Pita Ramos (played by Dakota Fanning)who then gets kidnapped by these unknown people in Mexico as well as corrupt cops (which doesn't surprise me that much because Mexico is a very corrupt country.) The movie also has a great supporting cast that includes Marc Anthony as Pita's dad, Mickey Rourke as the family attorney, Christopher Walken as a good friend of Creasy's, and Radha Mitchell as Pita's mother. This is one of the best action movies i have seen in a long time thanks to Scott's fantastic direction for this well done thriller.
