Rob S @RT18308578 1d All time favourite movie Nothing wrong with it Great cast insane action. See more Eric J @RT27161063 May 18 There are movies, and then there are experiences. Man on Fire is one of those movies that grabs you by the throat emotionally and never really lets go. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning’s chemistry is the heartbeat of the entire movie. Tony Scott directed this film like pure emotional chaos in the best possible way. By the time Christopher Walken says, "Creasy’s art is death, and he’s about to paint his masterpiece," you know you’re watching something iconic. What’s funny is critics were divided on this movie when it came out. Meanwhile, regular people loved it. Sometimes the critics get so busy chasing "cinema" that they miss what real movie lovers actually connect with. This movie connected. Deeply. To me, it’s one of Denzel Washington’s absolute greatest performances and one of the best revenge dramas ever made. Brutal, emotional, stylish, and surprisingly beautiful underneath all the violence. A masterpiece. See more Christopher J. @CLJacked May 16 Critics, eat me arse. This is one of my all-time favorite Denzel and Scott films. The cultural flavors it touches are so poignantly, subtle and true, that it takes one to no one. I’ll leave it at that. Watch it and enjoy. See more Adam K @SunsetLonerCinema May 15 Properly unhinged in both style and substance, this is a reminder that Denzel Washington and Tony Scott served up great collaborations together. Its also a Tony Scott film that I grapple with possibly being his best work. See more Chris M @CCM91 May 13 This is one of the best movies I have ever watched. Denzel and Dakota characters were absolutely made for each other. You could feel the pain in Creasy’s character and that Pita brought him back from the abyss. Dakota was just fantastic in this roll. Their chemistry made this movie. Denzel’s best acting job ever. Absolutely Loved this movie. See more Tyson D. @Spudsprout May 13 (Overall Rating: 3.58/5) (Good) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 2/5) Extremely jarring and jumpy camera work that was very excessive. Cool soundtrack though --- (Storyline/Plot: 3.75/5) Great pacing for a slower burn action film. It gave power to the connections between the characters. Ending was a bit anti-climactic though. --- (Acting: 4.25/5) Denzel, Dakota and even Walken were all superb throughout the movie. Others were just ok --- (Character Quality: 3.75/5) The actors definitely brought more life to the otherwise common trope characters. --- (Entertainment Value: 4/5) I like good revenge stories and this one delivered. I was entertained throughout. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 3.75/5) I thought this was a different movie when I was told that I would be watching it. I had not seen this, glad I did though.
