kidnapping in mexico be as common a honey give me their phone number so if youre rich then you will need a good bodyguard to keep you and your kid safe . a couple hire a wash up bodyguard call creasy to protect their adorable kid pita . at first and their relationship be a tad buggy but after a while and creasy ease up to the girl and the two develop a father or daughter relationship . one day pita be kidnap and creasy be badly injure in the process . when he wake up he find out that the girl have be kill due to a ransom negotiation that go wrong and this set creasy on a path find the men responsible for her death and make sure they be bring to his brand of justice . keep some tylenol next to you while watch this movie because you will need to take some after watch it . i really love the story here of go to the extreme to obtain revenge because most movie usually just want revenge but really never go too far where a this movie they show how far a man can go to do what he feel be right . the only problem be the annoy visual style and which will either make you hate the movie or hate tony scott . i really feel sorry for the cinematographer because i be sure he come into this movie thinking he be go to be film an action movie and probably get all excite but instead he get stuck be the dp for a filmmaker that feel that the whole movie should look like it be possess by demon . i wouldn not have mind if the crappy visuals be restrict to a few action scene but when it spread through out the whole movie then that when we have some problem . the same annoying style be recently use on domino and much like with this movie the style do hurt that otherwise great movie . another person i feel sorry on this movie be the soon to be great harry gregson williams who have the impossible task of try to compose music out of the jagged image . somehow and williams write some decent music for the movie but i be sure if the movie have be more stable then the music would have turn out a lot well . the sound be wrongfully use throughout the movie and instead of enhance the movie experience and it rather make you feel like youre be punish . the overuse of the subwoofer be irritate a every 5 second or so you can hear an ungodly low end sound come out of it . i do not know why scott think the audience need to be bombard by the subwoofer but it really take you away from the movie . the acting in the movie be a beast despite the visuals . little fanning do yet another great job here and the scene at the end of the movie just break my heart . if the end of the movie doesn not make anyone cry then theyre dead on the inside . denzel washington break his rule of not make any action movie with this movie and luckily and for him he get to play a great character . the whole idea of a man that lose in life and all of a sudden due to a tragedy find a purpose in his life be nothing new but washington bring some heart and emotion to the otherwise flat character . i love how we witness him from be a loner to actually learn to have emotion and after the kidnapping become a cold instrument of revenge . radha mitchell play marc anthony wife and she along with fan be the two reason why i can not hate the movie too much . j. lo husband come and go in the movie but he doesn not really stand out much . mickey rourke and chris walken all have minimal role in the movie but they do make an impact . one thing that make me laugh be how the filmmaker try to makeup for the crappy way they portray mexico by call it a fine city at the end of the movie . a little too late for that if you ask me . let hope that tony scott be do with this phase of intentionally try to ruin his career because a filmmaker as talented a him can and must do good than this .
