Man on Fire—unexpected WOW! watch—delivers a well-paced entertainment piece via the talents of Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. Fresh, original concept relies on an interesting venue to portray a twisted mystery that completely involves audience attention. Director Tony Scott once again shows his skill in directing and delivering outstanding entertainment.
