Man on Fire

What did you think?

I just saw it...and it's one of the more intense/awesome/action films I've seen in a while. Better than "Bourne Supremacy". I totally enjoyed it! And Denzel rulez as usual!

yes I saw it in the theatre and it was about 10x better than I thought it would be. before I saw it I read that denzel did a bad job in the movie. but when I saw it, I had no clue what the reviews were talking about. he was great as usual, and played his character very well. this movie got me choked up a few different times. the little girl was also great in the movie.

i really really enjoyed the whole cinematography of the movie. all in all, this movie rocks! i give it 5/5 stars.

Yes, beautiful camera work and cinematography! I can't think of any reason why this movie didn't get more attention!

i definitely definitely liked the movie....it was great to watch
the only part that bothered me was the constant replaying of 'blue bayou' by about the 4th time i was sick of it.....by the 28th time i was pretty blue myself:)

I liked it, but I saw it with my then-gf, so I wasn't entirely focused on the movie.

I was expecting him to blow up the guys at the end.

and what is the deal with the scars on his hand. They never explained it.

Denzel always seems to play intense characters. I don't believe I've seen him ever play the devil may care type.

I thought it was a great movie. But the ending disappointed me. I thought he had one of those a$$ bombs in his a$$ :(

I liked it also. The funny thing I found out was that it was one of the few "action" movies that Girls seemed to like even more than guys...regardless of how brutal it was. There were several times where I would squirm and the girls almost seemed like they were chearing...something about their motherly instincts I guess.

Anyway, my girlfriend, sisters, and all my female friends seemed to love it.

I just got done watching this movie and was very surprised with how good it was. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this movie did not get more attention. Very good movie IMO 9/10

It was pretty good but I thought it was kinda slow at some points. The 30 min or so when he just goes ballistic is great though.
