    Man On Fire

    Pretty cool; there were things I really liked about this movie (Creasy's relentlessness, Dakota Fanning, the structure of the story) and things I really didn't like about this movie (largely style over substance - what was with the unnecessary subtitles??)

    It's Tony Scott though, so I cut him a lot of slack, as he directed one of my all time favorites, True Romance.

          Style was dope. Characters were good. Pacing was really good. Beautiful flick. Thought the story was predictable.... however for me anyway...... the technical aspects of the film outweighed the story.

                the original was better, IMO. then again, anything with joe pesci is gold.

                    This has got to be one of my favorite movies. The characters, the story... All good. I really enjoyed the cinematography. It was similar to "28 Days Later."

                        there was one interesting thought in this whole movie: the notion of ransom insurance
                        but once that was on the table, the films obvious predictability made it seem long and tedious.

                            Excelent movie. I saw it only a couple of days ago... rented it.
                            I didn?t know there?s an original... is it called the same? Cast??
                            Denzel Washington is a great actor... and that kid did a really good job... although she didn?t act much. I?ve seen a couple of movies whith her and she?s pretty good.... don?t you think?

                              thr original is called the same, has generally the same plot, but stars scott glenn in denzels role and pesci in walkens role. the film as a whole was done better though you might say the new one has better acting cuz of denzel. but not really the whole cast was better in the old.
