Such a frustrating disappointment

People are voting emotionally.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Bad acting except for Christopher Walken. Last time you saw a black assassin. This movie is turned up side down. But with paganwood pushing people in roles they normally don't play, well, you have "Man on Fire". And why does every woman have to use violence against a man to get a point across. Bad movie with wrong people playing the important roles. But, again, paganwood does not think white males can do anything and this is coming from white males. That is what is so tragic.

For all calling this an action flick, there were hardly any shootouts, any hand to hand combat, any car chases. When I am watching a movie I dont care about acting, yes it helps but the acting itself helps does not make a movie good. The girl and Denzel put in good performances which make the movie watchable, but it still was a waste of my time. The hero in taking revenge hardly encounters any trouble, kills only a few people to get his revenge and seems to function well for 2 hours after being shot right in the centre of his chest. There is zero action, just some novel torture scenes where the hero elicits information, and voila we get to the end. The girl is cute and the bonding between her and Denzel is the only worth watching part. Walkens is massively wasted.

Brilliant script, brilliant acting and by far one of the most riveting movies I have seen due to the music. A slow start and many would argue that the relationship of the hero and the child took a long time to develop, I would argue that most other movies don't spend enough time for the story to unfold in the early stages so the viewer has a rushed introduction to the characters and their relationship. Tony Scott is a fantastic director as Mr. Washington and miss Fanning are fantastic actors. I have left no spoilers. A must see film that highlights all that is good in the film industry.

This has a good story and some great actors in it. So it was bound to be enjoyable and it didn't fail to live up to that expectation.But I've got an issue with the making. The editing of some scene(where the camera shakes, a lot of cuts happens. I don't know the right term for this) was simply annoying. If I somehow saw this in big screen I wouldn't be surprised to see some people get dizzy!! If the movie lacked this annoying bit I would've given it 7/10 easily.One thing I loved about this movie is how adorable Dakota Fanning was. Her acting was superb and complementary to the great acting from Denzel. An on the topic of Denzel's acting we cant expect anything less from the great actor.All in all this is far far better than typical action movies which addressed some real life problem of that time period in an entertaining way. Without that one issue this could've been a perfect action film.
