The end pisses me off a little.

Spoiler (20 years later)

I wish he had a bomb or something and blew up the car he dies in.

This is a movie I can watch every time it is on.

No reason to-- "the voice" and his family are dead men walking once he was exposed. Revenge killing or competing gang/ cartel will get rid of them.

Plus he is not going to risk losing the deal or even getting Pita Ramos killed.

He did that by dying before they can kill him

I think this was the alternate ending. Creasy used a charger, like the one he used on the fat guy strapped to the car, and it exploded when they brought him to La Voce.

Great movie, but not Denzel's best.

I think he meant for it to be a sacrifice for everything he’s done. He wanted the punishment.

My favorites are Training Day, Inside Man, and American Gangster. Flight is another one I like more, I think.

Man on Fire is amazing. It’s Denzel to the nth.

Fantastic movie. Not many people can flat out steal the screen like Denzel.

Same. It's my favorite Denzel movie. I just love revenge pron. I have always maintained he should've had a bomb up his culo as well. However, I think someone else got it right he wanted to suffer a little and die.

I haven’t watched that one but definitely will.

I think his best acting performance was easily Flight. It’s just a tough movie to rewatch. So good but extremely unpleasant.
