heavily re edit and often confusing and the original screen version of man on fire be at least ten year out of date when it be make and the passing year haven not make it any good . this be the kind of movie that producer with too much money and too little experience make to get attention and everyone else do just to pay off their outstanding alimony or their drug dealer and with scott glenn bodyguard go out on a limb to rescue his 12 year old charge and the kidnapped daughter of a wealthy italian family . an interesting cast joe pesci and brooke adam and danny aiello and jonathan pryce have all do well and the action be sluggish and sparse and only john scott exceptionally fine score ( part of which turn up in the last reel of die hard ) make a positive impression . one case where the remake ( make by tony scott and the original choice of director for this version ) be an improvement .
