basically and the movie might be one of the most mesmerizing title make by either of the two scott ( ridley and tony ) . let make it straight and the movie deserve it hype a one of the most stylish actioner or thriller ever make . when it come to disgruntle tragic hero and denzel washington and tony scott really make a perfect duo . both this movie and deja vu be good thriller you can expect . washington really get very comfortable in the shaky camera and every execute scene in the movie . one would easily be relate to his character emotion therefore enjoy all the killing on the road . it a success that they create a super dark mexico city with a lot of shit happen . one would be easily convince by the extent of corruption depict in man on fire . i do not know what would the mexican think when they watch this . well and let face it again . it among the best of the death wish genre and but it also suffer from extensive amount of violence . it a bit annoy that they justify the action of a vigilante by make the movie very realistic and let denzel washington play the miss sheep type of tragic hero . in the end and they even have the kidnapper shot in his own swimming pool like a documentary . i be check on imdb if the movie be base on real event for that . so that for your consideration if you also find the movie theme be a little bit phony . at the end and i hope one would not take this movie for real . positive for art direction or editing or cinematographic or denzel washington .
