Denzel is one of my favorite actors and Man on Fire is in my top 5. I was giddy with delight when I first saw the preview for this one as it looked similar to MOF. Denzel stars as an ex-CIA agent who is trying to live as a quiet loner. He doesn't sleep much and thus befriends a young prostitute (The always good Chloe Grace Moretz) who frequents the same all-night diner. When she's roughed up by her Russian pimp, Denzel attempts to buy her freedom. The gangsters predictably decline and the fun begins. The fight scenes were gloriously violent and Denzel shows why he's one of the best there is. I liked this one slightly more than Tombstones due to Denzel's nice guy demeanor when he's not giving bad guys the business. This made the violence more satisfying. If you're a Denzel fan this is a must see.

Sounds good! Man on Fire is the best.
