Tony Scott's masterpiece


Far better that the first version directed by Elie Chouraqui, Man on Fire is a great accomplishment for Scott who wanted to make the movie since 1987. Washington is great as usual and is supported by a bunch of great actors like Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken. Mexico city has never been shown like this. Probably Tony Scott's masterpiece.

I might have missed something, but during the kidnapping Creasy Pita to run. Why didn't he tell her to go back into the building she was walking out of. This appears to be a serious flaw.

I totally agree. This was definitely Tony's crowning achievement.
