Too much depth kills the Man on Fire
Dec 21, 2008

Man on Fire could've been an action packed tale of a friendship between a bodyguard and a little girl but instead is way too drawn out and done in about the strangest way possible. When a bodyguard is assigned to protect... Full review

All Man on Fire was was constant killing. Also, it sends mixed messages to its audience. Though, Denzel Washington does give a solid performance. Still, that is not enough to make a movie a good one.... Full review

This is truly a stunning movie. Fantastic storyline, excellent acting and brilliant directing. Camera work, and post-production work really helps define the atmosphere of the movie. Too many people will just watch this movie quickly and think its just another Hollywood... Full review

With Man On Fire, director Tony Scott peddles the kind of intensity that makes the plot's cliches merely melt away.....The ever superb Denzel Washington is John W. Creasy, a former government assassin with the kind of blood on his hands.... ... Full Review

And it would have been an great movie instead of a good movie if it weren't for all the little things that went wrong. Denzel turned in a decent performance, but it was a far cry from his best work. That said, I didn't hate the movie. ... Full Review
