Denzel on Fire

Last month when I watched TV, one of the TV program showed “Man on Fire” starred by Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning.

The story was about a desperate man that just got a job as a bodyguard of a rich family’s little girl. He didn’t care about anything, just finished the job and got back to his room and frowning. He did this daily.

Until one day the parent of the little girl were out-of-town, so just left him, the little girl, and maids. Within these days they were getting closer and closer, until he loved the little girl like his own child. He taught the little girl how to swim faster and guided her in her homework.

One day when the little girl just finished her piano course, a group of men and corrupt policemen ambushed them, injured the man critically, and kidnapped the little girl. While the man was hospitalized, the kidnappers asked for ransom. Somehow the ransom hand over disrupted by some corrupt policemen, whom stole the ransom. Then, the kidnappers denied to have another ransom, and announced that they killed the little girl.

The man, who just barely healed his wound, vowed to investigate and revenge to the kidnappers and the corrupt policemen. He, who was helped by a journalist, investigated brutally and heartlessly. He killed almost all bad guys who involved in the kidnapping and stealing the ransom. In the end he found out that the little girl still alive. But, he has to exchange the little girl with himself. After the exchange, he died soon enough.

I think Denzel Washington played very good in this movie. He really can act fiercely, desperately, and fun. I like this movie, even though felt that the brutality in the movie. He is one of some actors that acted a lot of good movies in their career.
