Daniel B @DanielBR 5h "Man on Fire" es, ante todo, un recordatorio del poder magnético de Denzel Washington. Su actuación es sensacional: con una sola mirada transmite un dolor tan natural que asusta, elevando la cinta a un nivel donde su sola presencia justifica el visionado. Tony Scott logró aquí reinventar el género de acción, otorgando una originalidad vibrante a un reboot que hoy es considerado una obra de culto y una inspiración constante para el cine contemporáneo. Uno de los mayores triunfos de la película es su retrato de la Ciudad de México. La narrativa visual aprovecha los contrastes y la diversidad de la capital para ofrecer una frescura auténtica, alejándose de los decorados artificiales. El guion es un ejercicio de precisión narrativa; a pesar de sus casi dos horas y media de duración, la trama nunca divaga y mantiene al espectador atrapado en un constructo que culmina en un giro de tuerca orgánico y eficiente.

The story is gritty but beneath the violence is a moving connection between a damaged soldier and a young girl who penetrates his rough exterior and made him care again. The development of their connection to the wrath he delivers to those who would harm her was totally satisfying for those who enjoy a protector/justice/honour type of theme. Denzel and Dakota were both fantastic in this film and their respective characters were easy to like and become attached to. I also quite enjoyed the way it was shot and that it deviated from typical storytelling standards to be its own film. The critics didn't care for it as much but it definitely has a cult-like following of fans who classify it as one of his best. I hope the new tv series does it justice or a lot of people will be unhappy! 😅 See more B M @RT95274583 3d This is a CLASSIC that I’ve watched countless times. Location shoots, one-liners, and action are excellent. Standout vignettes of Mexico City and class divides. The critics are crazy - if you want less grit, I recommend The Truman Show. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 4d Solid revenge flick that works thanks to a great cast and some stylish direction, even if it gets over blown at times. Denzel Washington is superb as Creasy, a mercenary with a dark past who is suddenly given a choice to live again. He is matched beautifully with Dakota Fanning as Pita, who develops a real father/daughter relationship you understand Creasy's motives when she is taken. Behind the camera, director Tony Scott delivers a stylish and gritty story, but goes overboard at times, distracting for the story with too many flashy visuals. Overall, a solid watch, especially on streaming. See more Enrique R. @EnriqueRamosLovesMovies Apr 12 An epic action thriller directed by Tony Scott, who made The Last Boy Scout, Crimson Tide and other great films. This movie is very emotional especially in the ending. Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Marc Anthony, Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, and some other people. The story, the action, the shots, the characters are all fantastic. It’s a really dope movie. But, overall, I give Man On Fire an A or a 9.5/10.
