Man On Fire


Man On Fire Posted by Hello
Denzel and Dakota, two of the most charismatic actors today. Ridley Scott's brother directing. NIN on the soundtrack, alongside Kinky and Linda Rondstadt. How come no one went to this film, which, btw, was just released on Dvd? Perhaps it is too long..actually making us care about the characters b4 the killing starts? Maybe it was the film's overt redemption message? Maybe people were mad that Christopher Walken didn't have a bigger role? It doesn't really matter.
I found the camera offputting in the theatre, but watching it again on Darren's big wide screen allowed me to catch more of Tony Scott's intent with the moving camera and saturated color palette.
