Man On Fire , a thriller neo noir
Image
Tony Scott's gripping crime thriller Man On Fire (2004) is nothing less than a tour de force that digs into your soul.
Denzel Washington gives the best performance of his career as John Creasy, a tormented former assassin hired to protect a young woman in Mexico City. His rage and pain are palpable in every glance.
Paul Cameron's cinematography is a heady high that immerses us in Creasy's frantic quest for revenge. The streets of Mexico City come alive in lawless surrealism as Creasy's dark past draws closer.

Dakota Fanning plays Pita perfectly, radiating innocence amidst the corruption. Her chemistry with Washington brings fatherly tenderness amidst the chaos.
Scott orchestrates breathtaking twists and turns with the panache of a fearless storyteller. His trademark edgy style places us in Creasy's deteriorating psyche during the precipitous finale. Sound and image merge in unnerving, kinetic power.
A man on fire's redemption, Man On Fire demands respect as a fever dream of a crime saga that redefines the genre.
The brutal collaboration between Washington and Scott is nothing less than art in motion.
Denzel Washington received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor for his volcanic portrayal of Creasy.
