Man on Fire

Damn, that was long.
It's like two movies.

The first movie is the story of a hardened CIA assassin learning to love again thanks to a little girl he is hired to protect,

The second movie is what happens when you kidnap a little girl who taught a hardened alcoholic CIA assassin how to love again.

I'm getting really tired of Tony Scott's style. Can't he just shoot a movie straight. If you saw "Enemy of the State" or "Spy Games", you know what I'm talking about. Sometime it was cool like how he handled the subtitles of the Spanish (and sometimes the English) but a lot of the time it was just annoying and dragged the movie out.

Denzel was on point as usual. In some ways, the things he does in this movie were colder than anything in "Training Day". Dakota Fanning once again proved that she's a great child actress and that she needs to go to the dentist sooner than later. She's like the exact opposite of Haley Joel Osment. While he is a adult in a child's body, she just comes across as a smart child. Unfortunately, like him, I see her growing up awkward.

I don't highly recommend it because of the length and the over-stylized directing but it was solid flick.
