This movie ended up being mostly hype. While Denzel Washington and Marc Anthony do good service to their roles, they fall victim to a bad director with a bad interpretation of a great story. This could have been an excellent revenge movie, but perhaps I set it to a standard that could not be achieved. This blow- em-up action movie is just an early summer blockbuster with nothing to deliver but a lack of editing. The director obviously tries to emulate great cinematography, but gave me spells of nausea. There is no depth to the "bad guys", and the climax was stunted severely. Denzel shows off again, but I wish he had picked a better movie to do it in.
Has anyone else noticed many similarities from 1994's Leon and 2004's Man on fire. I just couldn't enjoy man on fire because i felt like it was a crappy Hollywood rip off of Leon. Yes there were major differences, but there were also major similarities that i couldn't ignore. If anyone else feels the same way as i do please comment. I really enjoyed Leon(The Professional) international release a lot more. The acting in both films were superb. Lately though Denzel Washington is getting on my nerves. He is always playing the same serious/conspiracy type role in a drama/action movie. He needs to act in a wider variety of roles instead of sticking too the same old Hollywood formula. I wanna see him in a movie wear he actually has to act and make me truly believe without a doubt that he is that character. As of right now i can't tell if hes a good actor because of all the similar roles he plays. Well sorry for going off topic but please respond to my original comment about Leon and Man on fire.
The movie's mortal failing is echoed in the religious medal Pita gives Creasy in a gift of innocent, uplifting love: Finding heft or coherence within all the lugubrious agitation is a lost cause worthy of St. Jude.
Some viewers complain that this is a plot hole, but there is a likely explanation that is implied in the movie, though not outright stated. &#39;The Voice&#39; said &quot;I&#39;m a business man. A dead girl is worth nothing. She is alive.&quot;. This means he lead the family to believe she was dead so they wouldn&#39;t try to get her back. As The Voice&#39;s nephew was killed in the ambushed exchange, it&#39;s likely he wanted a form of revenge. He considers himself a businessman, so killing Pita wouldn&#39;t gain him any profit. So The Voice likely would have sold Pita. Either as slave labour or in to child trafficking.<br/><br/>The dvd special features with commentary by Lucas Foster, Brian Helgeland, and Dakota Fanning this issue comes up in discussion and they state that the original idea was to increase the ransom amount but it never made it into the film due to time. Creasy needed Aurelio as insurance to Pita&#39;s safety. It is made clear at the beginning of the film that 75% of the victims do not survive, and those that do will likely have body parts mutilated even if the ransoms are paid (the victim shown during the opening titles had his ear cut off before La Hermandad released him). So the circumstances for the final trade were: (1) Creasy in exchange for Pita, and (2) Aurelio in exchange for Pita being returned unharmed and all in one piece.<br/><br/>La Hermandad could not harm Pita in retribution for Creasy buckshooting Aurelio&#39;s hand off because Creasy had already done so before The Voice revealed to him that Pita was still alive. If The Voice did proceed to harm Pita, then Creasy would&#39;ve done even more to Aurelio as well, and it would&#39;ve been a lose-lose situtation for both men.<br/><br/>Creasy is willing, in the end, to sacrifice himself for the sake of Pita. Creasy undergoes a transformation early in the film; in the beginning he was an alcoholic loner who even attempts suicide but the round misfires. Pita manages to rouse feelings of compassion in Creasy and he develops a friendship with her, giving him a new found sense of life. When Pita is kidnapped and believed to be killed that is taken from him, and being a man with nothing to lose he is prepared to burn down the world till justice is served.<br/><br/>Upon the revelation that she is alive, Creasy must decide how valuable she is to him. Throughout the film, he shows he is prepared to do whatever is necessary for her (in getting justice), and for Creasy, to give up his own life for her is the ultimate sacrifice. Creasy would have likely never have done that for anyone in the past, and being a killer sees himself beyond redemption (if you recall his talk with Christopher Walken&#39;s character) and his sacrificing himself for Pita is his act of redemption and absolution. He was also critically wounded, and he probably didn&#39;t see himself making it past the day alive anyway, so he was more than happy to trade places with Pita, who was at the beginning of her life.
