Man on Fire starring Danzel Washington as Creasy is an underrated film that is both engaging and entertaining. Tony Scott, the director, presented the film with unique and unconventional camera angles and camera speeds to tell the story of a washed up marine uncovering the kidnapping chain in Mexico City. Not only did the film editing with filter effects and quick cuts complement the story and characters perfectly, it dramatically enhanced the overall experience of this intense story about revenge and redemption. Danzel Washington's performance was superb, and he played the role flawlessly with conviction. This is one of the best films by Tony Scott who has also directed memorable movies such as Spy Game and Crimson Tide. This is a must see film.
