Reviews:

His bodyguard style is much entertaining. I could watch it all up until certain point. Then it seems Denzels character goes against his usual serious bodyguard style. Only to progress the plot. That is when I turn this movie off

_**The Punisher in Mexico City, albeit black**_

A disillusioned ex-CIA operative (Denzel Washington) gets a gig in Mexico as the bodyguard of a precocious girl (Dakota Fanning) from a wealthy family. Christopher Walken plays his friend, Radha Mitchell the mother of the girl and Mickey Rourke an attorney of the family.

“Man on Fire” is a crime drama/thriller that debuted five days after Thomas Jane’s “The Punisher” in 2004. While “Man of Fire” was based on a novel by A.J. Quinnell and “The Punisher” was based on the Marvel Comics’ character, they’re both about men who suffer great tragedy and enact merciless strategies to take out the criminals responsible. They’re about on par, but I give this one the edge as it has more dramatic depth and flashier filmmaking by director Tony Scott (which some may find annoying). But neither is as supremely effective as the later “Taken” (2008).

Some complain that the movie’s “schizophrenic” because it’s like two movies stitched together, but don’t all revenge stories have a set-up for the oncoming revenge part? This one just has a longer and more satisfying set-up.

The film runs 2 hour, 26 minutes, and was shot mostly in Mexico City.

GRADE: B

3 Denzels and 1 Dakota For Your Money
Here’s a gritty, get-the-bad guys revenge story starring a relentless and rough Denzel Washington. He’s three personalities here: a down-and-out-low-key-now drunk- former mercenary, then a loving father-type person to a little girl and then a brutal maniac on the loose seeking answers and revenge.

The story is about Washington hired to be a bodyguard for a little American girl living in Mexico, where kidnappings of children occur regularly (at least according to the movie.) He becomes attached to the kid, played winningly by THE child actress of our day, Dakota Fanning. When Fanning is kidnapped in front of him, Washington goes after the men responsible and spares no one. Beware: this film is not for the squeamish.

This is stylish film-making, which is good and bad. I liked it, but a number of people found it too frenetic for their tastes as the camera-work is one that could give you a headache. I thought it fit the tense storyline and was fascinating to view, but it’s (the shaky camera) not for all tastes.

Besides the two stars, there is the always-interesting Christopher Walken, in an uncharacteristically low-key role, and a number of other fine actors.

The film panders to the base emotions in all of us, but it works.

Excellent and thrilling film about a merciless revenge
An American bodyguard (Denzel Washington) is contracted by a family in Mexico (marriage formed by Radha Mitchell and Marc Anthony) to protect their child (Dakota Fanning) . Then she’s kidnapped and a terrible vendetta takes place , as the protagonist carries out a vow to avenge , as revenge is a meal best served cold . Forgiveness is between them and God… His job is to arrange the meeting . His art is death, and he is about to paint his masterpiece . Sabotage his work, his fiery will be releashed . There’s trained and there’s untrained. Now, which one are you?

In this moving movie there is thriller , frenetic action , suspense , violence, intrigue and a little bit of social denounce . The final showdown between the starring and the baddies is breathtaking . Film runtime is overlong , two hours and half , but is neither tiring , isn’t boring ; because being fast moving, and that’s why it is entertaining . The film has a certain likeness to Charles Bronson’s films of the series : ¨Death Wish¨ for the matter , a relentless revenge. The picture obtained too much success at the box office in spite of the violence and the crude theme . Denzel Washington’s interpretation is awesome , Radha Mitchell and Marc Anthony (married to Jennifer Lopez) are good and the little daughter played Dakota Fanning is cool . Support cast is pretty well , such as : Giancarlo Giannini , Rachel Ticotin, Mickey Rourke, Christopher Walken , and being shot in Mexico , that’s why there appears some Mexican actors such as Roberto Sosa and Jesús Ochoa . Interesting and nail-biting screenplay by Brian Helgeland , based on a novel written by A.J. Quinnell , that was previously adapted by Elie Chouraqui as ¨Man on fire¨(1987) with Scott Glenn, Jade Malle, Joe Pesci, Jonathan Pryce .

Harry Gregson Williams’ musical score is outstanding , adding sensitive songs by Lisa Gerard . As well as adequate cinematography by Paul Cameron .Direction by Tony Scott is alrightly made The picture will appeal to action buffs and strong emotions enthusiasts. Rating: 7/10 . Well worth watching . Better than average . Essential and indispensable seeing .
