Movie Review

Grade: B- In yet another remake, Denzel Washington stars as a fallen bodyguard who goes on a quest to find the men responsible for kidnapping the little girl that he was hired to protect. Man on Fire has drama, violence and lots of camera tricks, but is too much of a good thing just too much? Read the full movie review

About time, by JayMike

January 27, 2007

It's about time Denzel didn't play a cop in this one. Overall good movie. I guess that's why I bought it. I say boycott all Denzel movies in which he plays a cop, lawyer, or is in the military. In most of his films he plays one of those characters. Don't believe me. Go to IMDB and type in his name and look at his filmography.
