I recently rewatched this movie and I really have liked this movie over the years so I thought I'd ask other users opinion on it.

This is one of the many (lolwut) movies I have in my collection, and I enjoy it each time I watch it.

Anyone else hate or like this? I think Mezz might hate this.. :-k

lol actually it's not bad, kinda thoughtful and well made for an action film

Spoiler

[spoiler]If Im thinking of the right film, it was a nice little twist on the father hiring the kidnappers, the bit where he blows a guy up by the side of motorway was great, and the fact the bodyguard couldnt stop the kidnap but was shot trying, and willingly sacrificed himself not in a instant blaze of glory but with other options and knowing he was swapping his life for the girls was very good.[/spoiler]

Actually its based on an older, Italian version, which is based on a novel.

^^in the sig :smt050

Love Man on Fire - solid plot, great action scenes, an awesome original score. Love it :D

My one criticism when I rewatched it, was some of the scenes are perhaps trying to be overly artistic: some of the language subtitles coming up, the flashing scenes, etc - keep it perhaps a little simpler for my tastes....

Me likes 8-[

I think it was a great movie. Definitely one of Denzel Wasington's best.
