Man on Fire

“Creasy's art is death, and he is about to paint his masterpiece.”

John Creasy (Denzel Washington), a burned-out ex-CIA operative, takes a bodyguard job in Mexico City with a rich family's ten-year-old daughter, Lupita (Dakota Fanning). She wears down his silence, and then she is taken. Tony Scott shoots the search in jumpy, overexposed bursts, and Creasy is left with one purpose, which is to get her back before the kidnappers decide she is worth more gone.
