Denzel is the Man!

Rating: 9/10 (25 September 2005)

Denzel Washington just can't make a bad movie. There is nothing he has been in that I do not love. No, I am not gay, I just think he is one of the very best. Man on Fire is no exception. The story is been told many times by actors such as Sylvester Stallone or Wesley Snipes or Steven Segal, but no one brings the passion and depth to a character like Washington. A man with nothing left, who can't even believe he can be forgiven for what he has done, sets about to make amends for his sins and restore balance to the world. Denzel does it like no one else can. He is the man! I have to also admit that Dakota Fanning was absolutely adorable in this film, and I haven't seen Rachel Ticotin since Con Air - she played a great supporting role. This is one of those films that do not diminish with re-watching like The Mighty Quinn or Devil in a Blue Dress or The Bone Collector or any other Denzel film you can name.
