Man on Fire
ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller141 min
Burned-out ex-CIA operative John Creasy takes a bodyguard job in Mexico City, assigned to protect the young daughter of a wealthy family. Denzel Washington is Creasy, drinking hard and keeping everyone at a distance until Dakota Fanning's Pita starts to break through his defenses. When she is kidnapped, the guarded protector turns into a relentless hunter, moving through the city’s ransom trade and crooked officials with a soldier’s precision and a personal sense of reckoning. Tony Scott frames the story in jagged edits, saturated color, and a Mexico City shaped by wealth, fear, and violence.
