Man on Fire

CriticsCritics: 43
AudienceAudience: 7.9

A troubled former operative takes a bodyguard job protecting a young girl in Mexico City. Though they initially clash, their growing bond gives him renewed purpose, and a kidnapping sends him on a relentless mission against those responsible.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like emotionally charged revenge thrillers with strong performances and dark intensity, similar to Payback; Not for you if you prefer restrained violence, lighter moods, or consistently brisk pacing.
