Movie Description
John Creasy (Denzel Washington) is a lost soul. A former government operative, he has become an alcoholic nomad, searching for inspiration and redemption. An old friend (Christopher Walken) who lives in Mexico gets Creasy a job as a bodyguard for nine-year-old Lupita "Pita" Ramos (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of Mexican Samuel (Marc Anthony) and his American wife Lisa (Radha Mitchell). Creasy's primary job is to protect Pita from the kidnapping attempts that are an increasing menace to the children of Mexico City's wealthy. A man of few words and many secrets, Creasy initially balks at Pita's attempts to befriend him, but soon a bond grows between the precocious child and this lonely man who is tormented by his past. When Pita is kidnapped despite Creasy's valiant attempts to save her, he will do anything to bring all of those involved to justice. His fury unravels a net of almost unimaginable corruption and greed in the process. Director Tony Scott (TOP GUN, CRIMSON TIDE) builds the relationship between Creasy and Pita in the first half of the film in order to justify Creasy's violent actions in the latter half, and in the process he does a fine job of keeping the film's tension consistently high.

Editorial Reviews
"[Fanning] turns Pita into a delightful, distinctive, self-possessed individual, likely the most mature youthful presence we'll see on screen all summer."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (04/21/2004)

"[The director] gives us solid chemistry between Fanning and lead Denzel Washington, plus a more complex than expected characterization by Radha Mitchell..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (04/23/2004)

"We're absorbed by Washington's character."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (04/23/2004)

"MAN ON FIRE explodes with some beautifully orchestrated mayhem that's driven by a cast of fully realised characters."
Uncut - Andrew Sumner (11/01/2004)

    I went into this movie with no expectations other than it has Denzel Washington as the lead actor (playing Creasy) and, for that reason, it has to be at least decent, right? Other than Denzel's role - I knew nothing about the film. What resulted blew my mind - "Man on Fire" is a brilliant mix of thriller, drama, and action... I had a such a good time with the movie that I was upset when it ended. I was also upset that its theater presence was short lived and I didn't get a chance to see it on a large screen (but I guess my 50" tube will do!).

    Denzel plays Creasy - a bodyguard assigned to protect the daughter (played by Dakota Fanning) of an elite American family living in Mexico. Denzel does so perfectly - evoking similarities to "Training Day". Along the way, Denzel and Dakota become close friends and, as he becomes a father figure to her, he also learns about himself and his weakness - when Dakota is kidnapped by bandits seeking ransom, Denzel becomes turns to vigilante seeking safety for the one person he loves.

    What's so surprising about this film is the intellect with which it was written and directed. This movie could have easily been turned into a Bond-like movie - big action, big thrills. But while it combines action and thrills, the heart of the movie is in the acting, screenplay and cinematography. The movie is brilliantly put together and pleasure to watch. Visually it is stunningly put together.

    While this movie isn't Oscar-worthy, its very well put together and visually stunning. Director Tony Scott does a fine job merging action with artistry and the result is enjoyable to watch.
