Man on Fire

Four stars out of four. Denzel Washington is so awesome! He makes this movie. The plot is almost stock, being a movie about revenge, but with Denzel Washington playing the part, and some creative executions and dialogue, this becomes a classic. Basic synopsis: Washington plays an ex-CIA agent in Mexico, who is hired to bodyguard the young daughter of a rich Mexican in the automobile industry. The girl is kidnapped, and Creasy (Washington's character) is seriously wounded. When he recovers, he learns that the ransom delivery had been botched, and the girl dead. He then sets out for the ultimate revenge.
