Much better revenge movie than A Man Apart with Diesel. I think it's a great movie.

Big fan of Denzel films so I'm assuming I'll enjoy this one

It's the best Denzel film and personally in my top 15 of all time.

My wife asked me once what I would do if one of my kids got abducted.

My answer mirrored alot of what happened in Man on Fire.

If my child is taken, everyone's life is forfeit until I find them. I don't care if I spend every remaining second in jail. . .I will have them back, or vengeance.

How would you calling the cops help me sleep? I'm just saying that Man on Fire is a movie for a reason. But I'm sure you'd go all badass and go on a killing spree until you found your kid though.

I don't think I would be able to maintain sanity, if my child were taken.

In case it hasn't been said, this movie kicks arse. It is the original "Taken."

I agree with this.

Honestly, after John Q, I was really turned off on Denzel movies... I thought Training Day was just an OK movie. And when John Q came out I was pretty much done with Denzel. Glad I was talked into watching MoF - great film and great performance by DW.

ETA: I can't wait for "Flight" to come out. The trailer looks awesome. I think it is my most anticipated film until it comes out.

I thought it was Denzels best movie. It's a rollercoaster ride for sure.
