Denzel Washington is still a chameleon....

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2004)

I just got in from seeing Man on Fire and my girlfriend and I agreed, it was a very entertaining film that was better than expected. Contrary to what some others have said, Denzel Washington gave an excellent performance. He showcased his chameleon abilities once again, totally immersing himself and the audience in his character. Dakota Fanning also gave a great performance, after a while I forgot how old she was. I enjoyed Tony Scott's direction because it gave the film a pace that made it's 2 hours and 26 minutes flow very smoothly. If you're looking for high art, watch PBS, but if you want to see an explosive action ride, then buy a ticket to Man on Fire. I wish...I had...more time! **** out of *****.
