Denzel Washington-Man on Fire (2006) Review

Another Denzel Washington masterpiece was produced in the year of 2004. The name of the film is "Man on Fire", and it's my favorite Denzel Washington movie. It reveals some of the harsh facts about the kidnapping rates in Latin America, and how smart some criminals really are. If you are a fan of action or adventure movies, or you are just in the mood to watch a top quality movie, you should watch "Man on Fire". One forewarning about the movie, the first hour builds an emotional connection with all of the characters, and the second hour is when all of the action takes place.

Like I mentioned earlier, the movie takes place in Latin America, and a family assigns a bodyguard named Creasy (Washington) to protect their daughter Pita (Dakota Fanning) from being kidnapped. Pita is a swimmer on the school team, a great person in the community, just as you would expect. The movies places an emotional connection with Creasy and Pita, which progresses throughout the film.

Then comes the dark side of the movie, the second half. This is where all of the action comes to life. It all starts with Pita getting kidnapped, and Creasy wanting to take revenge. He vows to kill every single person involved in the kidnapping. In doing so, he finds out an array of things. Each thing he finds out, brings him closer to the unimaginable truth, and it's shocking ending, which is for you to find out.

In conclusion, Man on Fire is a very unique film, unlike many pointless action films. It has a great message, which shouldn't be missed. Another trait that makes this movie great, is that it's based on a true story. The movie contains some great acting, and features the likes of Dakota Fanning, Christopher Walken, and Marc Anthony. Everyone does a great acting job, and no one contradicts each other. It seems as if they picked the perfect cast. I think that this is one of the most underrated movies of 2004. If you ever have a chance to watch it, I would strongly recommend it.
