Man on Fire opens with quick flashes of a variety of scenes. Glimpses of what appears to be a city in Mexico; someone being kidnapped; a phone call where a demand for a ransom is made; the release of the victim on a busy street... The pace and intent of the movie is set within the few minutes of the opening credits. Pulled from Greg's previews at movies.yahoo.com: This movie is based upon …showed first 75 words of 1138 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1138 total…are some violent scenes, but a movie about revenge would not have the same impact without them. Creasy is not going to go after someone for kidnapping and then give him a slap on the wrist. Nope, Creasy's going to make them pay. I like action, and I like movies with emotional involvement. This movie combined both for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a good movie this weekend.
