Man on Fire

i cried bro. this film moved me so much.

the score was a huge factor of it, my emotions were peaking.

denzel’s performance in this is astounding. an absolute bad ass. incredible character development, loved his evolving attachment to pita, the determination & execution of john creasy is phenomenal. amazing character.

bro can actually speak good spanish haha.

pita was adorable, no spoilers but what a rollercoaster of emotions.

loved the crazy zoom ins, quick cuts, flashy transitions, classic early 00’s action film.

cinematography & camerawork is brilliant.

brilliant screenplay. standing ovation to scott & quinnel on the writing & directing.

phenomenal production, great action sequences, great suspense & thrill overall.

i have to say this film sits right on top of “training day” of my fav denzel films of all time ngl.

OG denzel is cinema.

absolute banger of a film.

10 / 10

8.5/10

I can’t believe he didn’t just grab her and run!!!

classic

It’s quite cheesy, but I can see it being a pretty good movie about 20 years ago. Quite slow paced, and a bit broken into scenes that don’t exactly flow into each other, but overall the story is there. It’s an okay movie, but I don’t think we’ll watch it again.

there are some strange editing choices in this at times it feels like one long ep of csi: miami… at least there isn’t a piss yellow filter to indicate that we’re in a foreign country. dakota fanning and denzel washington are truly great in this despite shallow characterizations
