Such a stylish movie - RIP Tony Scott


I've seen this movie several times. I just watched it tonight with my son, the cinematography is super cool, as is the Gladiator-esque score. Such an underrated, under appreciated classic.

Well not by me lol.. It's one of my top 10 fave films and I think one of Denzel's best as well. I thought "True Romance" was Scott's best but then came "man on fire". Such a great storyline and like you said stylish films. I miss Tony Scott because his films were always really cool and were great stories. I even loved "Domino" which I don't think many liked at all but it was another cool story.
Man on Fire was so good you don't even have to know there was an original because this was a million times better. A rare re-make that just totally blows it's predecessor way out of the water. I think it gets its due though as it is on a lot on like F/X and AMC and those channels that really only play hit films or do a film of the week or whatever. I do though think that it is ranked way way to low (with still a respectable rating) but should be like I said in the very least the top 250 but certainly 150 (or more) spots lower. Your not the only one out there that thinks this was a masterpiece!!!

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!
