Unimpressed G The film leads on vigilantism and how the law's corruption cries for justice. This is not a film about justice, though. This is a film about the cost of vengeance. A film that needs to be taken greatly with a grain of salt, due to the understanding of "justice" being done; this is not justice, it's murder of passion. This all said: it's a very moving film at it's core with the precept of a man being redeemed by an unlikely person: his contract's sweet and charitable daughter, Pita. As stated in the film: "She brought him back to life again." These were the moments that made the crime of passion very understandable, yet extremely unjustified. I give it 4 stars, .5 off for the brutal nature of the killings, and another half star for the obnoxious editing with the flashing lights, and trippy moments of feeling like I just suffered a concussion. Thematically at times, it works superb: other times though, it's quite annoying to watch. Overall: a great story about total sacrifice, with the cost of it being a man's total control and will towards vengeance, not justice.

The "critic" reviews sound like they were written by bots lol Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Robert J 1. A critic is a legless man who teaches running. 2. Man on Fire is among the top five favorite movies of mine. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Garry A Denzel Washington made it a better movie than it is. His relentless pursuit of killing everyone involved in the kidnapping was solid. The film is bogged down by taking too much time establishing who the characters are and their connection. It's rare that any movie needs to be longer than 120 minutes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Prenom N One of the best action movies ever made, as always critics have no idea what they re talking about and spending their life watching movies either made them unable to appreciate the good ones, or made them corrupt Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
