Man on Fire
Damn I forgot how good this movie is. Man on Fire is epic. If you have never seen it, fix that. Soon. Now! I'm only going to give you an over view because I want to you to actually watch this. It takes place in Mexico City, a business man named Samuel goes shopping for a bodyguard for his daughter Pita. He finds Creasy, a former counter-insurgent operative, who's a bit out of shape. Oh and he drinks. Nonetheless he's hired on. Pita loves him pretty much on sight. But Creasy is hard inside, too many years killing people professionally, he doesn't see Pita as anything but a job. At first. As time passes he begins to feel very protective of her, more so then is required for the job, she's become like a daughter to him. One day after dropping her off for piano lessons, she's taken. Creasy does everything he can to save her, including taking two bullets to the chest but it's no good. The ransom deal is made, but it goes wrong. She's gone.When Creasy gets out of the hospital, he has only one goal. To kill everyone involved. And if there is one thing Creasy is good at, it's killing people. In very inventive ways too! I'm not going to tell you anymore about it. Jut watch it. You'll thank me later. Really. Honestly if I hadn't loved Denzel Washington, this would've been the movie to change my mind. This simply reaffirmed what I already knew, he is awesome!
