Denzel Washington is a disillisioned soldier of fortune who grows close to a child he is paid to protect. When she is abducted, his fiery rage is unleashed on those he feels responsible, and he stops at nothing to save her.
Man on Fire is the story of John Creasy (Denzil Washington), a former C.I.A. operative who, now burned out, is seeking an end to his life throught a self induced alcoholic haze in which he tries to 'drown' the demons of his past life/actions and end his own life.
Redemption gradually comes in the form of a 'bread & butter' job that he reluctantly accepts to protect the young daughter of a supposedly well off mexican family.
Discovering a sense of hope, the self destructive phase begins to abate, until the time his charge is kidnapped, Creasy then has only one goal- that of pure revenge; of retribution, and the need to bring those responsible to task.
The film is poignant and gritty, well paced with a depth to the characters; it's one of my favourite films and well worth the purchase.

Tony Scott-directed action thriller starring Denzel Washington as John Creasy, a jaded former CIA agent hired by a wealthy Mexican family to act as bodyguard to their ten-year-old daughter Lupita (Dakota Fanning). Initially reluctant to take on such a lowly position, Creasy becomes increasingly fond of his charge as she asks him questions about his life and he begins to open up to her and discover a tenderness long missing from his own life. But his newfound equilibrium is shattered when the girl is kidnapped, and he vows to find the men responsible and bring them to his own form of rough justice. The film is a re-make of the 1987 film starring Scott Glenn as Creasy, also based on the A.J. Quinnell novel.
