Holy frick...... the roller coaster of emotions this movie takes me through. Granted, I have kids and I'm half drunk, but I'm teary eyed and at the same time want to unload some shells on some people. Similar score to Gladiator but more appropriate, IMO.

I didn't like the editing, but it's still an awesome movie.

I think they're making a prequel/sequel?

Its not funny! I do know that Denzel is a beast. Probably my favorite actor of all time.... and I'm a white republican.

Yeah, it's a good one. I'm not sure why so many critics panned it. I think it embodies what a lot of adults think they would do for a child.

Denzel went full retard/BAMF

One of my favorite movies, I watch it everytime it comes on.

The part where he cuts the guys fingers off and carterizes them with the cigarette lighter until he says something is awesome.

I loved the way they displayed the whole grittiness of Latin America. Great soundtrack too.

How the hell can you not like this movie? If you are a guy and panning "Man on Fire" you are taking yourself way too seriously.............and you might have caught the ghey.

I loved the cinematography... This movie gave me the chills. CREASY! I can still hear the screams! I def agree with what u said about it being a roller coaster of emotions

Chistopher Walken: A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.

One of my favorite movies. Loved this scene with Walken explaining Creasy to the detective.

Man, I need to rewatch this. Been awhile, but this movie kicks serious arse.

eta: one of the few, and I mean few, movies that I actually own.

I love it too. I like the way Scott shot it. The combination of the action and the fast pace keeps you on your toes. It's a movie that goes by really fast.

I agree with Escobar on them getting the grittiness of the area. The scenes at the club and at kidnapper's brothers place helped with this. Showed how callous "normal looking" people could be. They also show how different the privileged peoples lives are from the masses.

Denzel is great in it. All of the bad guys in it are very believable. Denzel is a believable bad arse. The cop & the journalist he helps & gets help from were good together and with him too.
