The editing of it, the harsh cuts, the jumbling camera, ruin it. Could be an artistic choice on the directors idea, but the point of a movie is to convey a message. It doesnt matter what the message is if i cant see it.
On a whim on a Saturday afternoon in 2004 I stopped at a movie theater to watch this movie. It f-ing blew me away. This is one of the most incredible movies ever made and it is so under appreciated. Denzel and Dakota are gold together. Tony Scott, the director said 95% is improvised off the script.
You know what makes me mad in 2004 I would have been 17. My favorite movie of all time and I missed it in theaters. Perfect movie and now they are going to make an 8 part miniseries of it.
"Your brother wants to talk to you." I suspected what was going to happen. Creasy wanted Daniel's brother to send a VERY specific message, and he sent it. At the top of his lungs, even.
Okay, I know Denzel is great and all, he absolutely dominates like, every single role, but the other actors are slept on. Giancarlo Giannini was great here, Marc Anthony, Radha Mitchel, Dakota, Walken too, but the main villain, The Voice, the actor played well to, we basically don't see his face for like 99% of the movie, he's only "the voice" and that's what makes him scary like hell. This film is pure art.
The voices's voice acting is so underrated. Chilling and calculating.. Then that nuance of slight amusement when he learns she named the bear after denzel.
The actress, Norma Pablo, playing pregnant Reina Rosas, does a nice job in this scene. Her shocked facial expression 02:13 as she looks up at Aurelio's blasted hand is nicely done.
I think she was beginning to realize that she was dealing with someone capable of such sudden and calculated savagery and that he may be capable of ANYTHING.
Fun fact, Creasy managed to survive and fight his way out of the criminals hands. He was never heard from again, but several months later, a man (no one ever heard of) by the name of Robert McCall started a new job at a Home Mart in Boston 🙃
The original ending they shot for the movie has Creasy meet face to face with The Voice, with the explosives in his ass. He takes them out on the ultimate suicide mission. But they tried this version and realized it was much more satisfying for the audience. I agree. We get creasy who doesn’t care about courts and trials. He just cares about the girl. Gives his love for the girl. Not revenge. Let the police dope out revenge. It’s amazing.
@@DrakariZargon I’ve never seen John Wick so the closest thing to this that I’m familiar with is The Punisher. Sociopath who uses torture tactics, kills without regret and doesn’t care if he dies cause he’s got nothing to love for.
Seriously Legend of a film. I actually watched this during my last flight before the whole world became a mess. All I can say about this film is that it has to be one of the most underrated films ever made. Top-tier storyline, characters, scenery, and effects. Honestly a very emotional film with intense action, which is even based on a real story If I remember correctly. What made this hit my heart, even more, was because It was the last film, I got to see with my family on that plane before I would never be able to see them again till a while, and I'll never forget this film. Massive Respect to Denzel, as he nailed this film, and it's where I gained my respect for him. Truly inspirational. Worth watching, honestly speechless. 8.06.2019
@Billy Tresco You should really seek some help for your delusions. It is not healthy to constantly deny reality because it makes you feel better emotionally.
I disagree, I think they were actually a detriment to the movie. It was a bit jarring for me and extremely distracting. Still LOVE the film though for its performances and music alone.
I was just telling someone about this movie and the lighting, the shading, or whatever lens they use....makes each scene so much more intense and gritty. A favorite.
one off the best movies ever made to this day every time i watch it feels like i never have such a heart jerker. kudos to the director done an amazing job, each actor is at the top of there game in this film just such a master piece
i can't express the perction of this movie, the actors were working just with their eyes like in the old Sergio Leone's movies. i can't believe i missed this masterpiece for 19 years.
When Daniel Ramos aka. 'The Voice' asked John Creasy how much money does he want, it struck a nerve and angered him deeply within him, because he doesn't want his money, he wants his life because he took Pita's life from him, 'blood for blood'. Creasy angrily swore to him that he will take and destroy everyone he loves, everything he has, and everything he desires within his heart, piece by piece, and leave him with nothing so that he will suffer for it, like he suffered when he lost Pita because of him, and kill him.
Voice is a heartless criminal... Creasy understood that... Thats why he agreed to his deal.... If Creasy tried to negotiate he knew Voice will abandon his family in a heart beat and Pita will be lost for ever again...
I suspect that the fact Creasy was on the edge of death himself was also a major contributor. He gets pita out and he'll likely die before the mafiosos get a chance to torture him for interfering in their business.
@@Nickallsopp92 Nope. He had the experience to know his death was a foregone conclusion. He thought the girl was gone, and then suddenly had a chance to save her. He took it.
@@Exxeron-ob3tv that's pretty much what i was saying. He was on the edge of death, so he took the deal to get Pita out and turned Daniel's brother and himself over to Mafiosos as an exchange. Then dies as soon hes in their custody and they never got to torture him for interfering with their business.
@@Nickallsopp92 Your point is Captain Obvious in scale. What your missing is that he was basically signing his death warrant by going after these very dangerous people on their own turf. Making it out alive wasn't a consideration. The Voice wasn't going to give himself up for anything. Not money, not power, not family. A true incarnation of evil with no interest in something so "trivial" as redemption. The point is the side by side comparison between the hero and the villain. No matter the risk, no matter the cost to his character. He was walking under his own power at the end, which is very significant. Did you see him even pass out? No. So him "dying before they could torture him" is just wishful thinking.
@@Exxeron-ob3tv if anyone is playing the captain obvious game, it's you. He literally died in the car after he left with Daniel's men in the end. They show him give his last as he finally drops his amulet of St. Jude. He was dying from the gun shots he received trying to save Pita the first time and the shot he took from Aurelio probably sped it up. He literally had nothing left to lose which why he took the deal get Pita out without fuss. You're arguing over nothing as if you have some great point.
Fantastic movie. I must have watched it a dozen times. I will say it does bug me that Greasy agrees to hand himself over for Peeta. He had the brother,wife and unborn child as bargaining chips. Could have just traded them for Peeta. But I can also see how his life is needed as the other side May forever fear repercussions from him.
Can we just talk about what the voice was going through in that moment man had his family hostage and thought it was money he wanted instead he got to hear his brothers hand get blown off then yelled at that he is what the man wants
A true MASTERPIECE i could even say! one of my most top 10 favourites of all time movies. A Denzel Washington at his best in this movie. A great performance of actors, great story. All in all A very good movie. My verdict would be a 8.5/10
An absolute Masterpiece. One of my faves. Man on Fire 🔥 Peppermint Temple of Doom Raiders of the Lost Ark Training day Equalizer Very bad ass in their own ways
Luv how he tells the voice your brother wants to talk to you, then blows his fingers off, that's what he wants the voice to hear, his brother begging, he couldn't be bought with money
If a man is great at anything, cooking, sculpting, painting, he is considered an artist, Cresey's art is death, and he's about to create his masterpiece, I really don't have anything else to say"...... Christopher Walken Awesome
No way he would've taken that deal, if he wasn't already dying. He wouldn't have to, because he has the voice's pregnant wife and brother as a hostage. It was more like 3 lives for a life.
I think the wife is iffy, since they're not actually "together" anymore. But the brother yes, I think that that moment when he found out she's alive he just wanted to be sure that Daniel doesn't back out or do something by giving him the better deal.
The movie is flawed because of this. He was already risking his life just by making the exchange. But both parties had equal foot in the negotiation. It would be the same illogical twitst if Creasy asked for Pita AND The Voice's life in exchange for just him. Great movie, up to that point.
@@sovo1212 Sorry, but no. You're missing the entire sub-context of the movie. Creasy is an assassin looking for redemption in this world. That's why he drinks, that's why carries the bullet that failed to fire when he tried to kill himself. He feels guilt over his life as a killer, regardless of govt sanctioned or not, he knows he's repeatedly violated the laws of the Christian God and will suffer eternal damnation for his actions. That's why he is depressed and despondent earlier in the movie. He knows he's going to hell so what's the point of continuing on in this world. Fast forward to where Pita brings him joy, Pita reaffirms life is good. He fails to protect Pita and Pita is killed (as far a he knows). Creasy then sets about on a path of revenge, again violating the Christian God. Creasy is not killing La Hermanidad in an effort to save Pita, he thinks she's dead. His violence is based in rage, hate, and vengeance. Now we get this scene where Pita is alive, and will only continue to stay alive if Creasy surrenders and allows himself to be killed. Knowing he will be killed in a horrific manner. This is the moment the entire movie is building towards. This is Creasy's moment of salvation. Creasy is not trading his life for Pita's because he know he's gonna be dead in a few days. He's walking, talking, and fighting in this scene. Certainly if he walked into a hospital his wounds would heal and he could live to be 99 years old. No, he is willingly trading his life for Pita's, in the same manner that the Christian Jesus traded his life for all humanity. (I'm debating religion, just explaining how if applies to the narrative of this movie). By this act, Creasy willingly giving his life for Pita, the Christian God absolves Creasy of his past sins. Creasy's life is reaffirmed, he is not just a killing machine. When called upon Creasy was able to give the ultimate sacrifice, his life, to save the life of another. His past sins of murder have not destroyed his soul.
Don't care about Training Day. Him handing the phone to this man and shooting off his other hand with a shotgun and then saying he doesn't care about money but he wants HIM? Coldest scene in movies.
It's actually way, way off. First it's Peta's life for Creasy's. Then it's Peta for the brother and Creasy. Then it just ends up being his ex-wife, the unborn baby, the brother and Creasy for Peta. That is 4 lives for 1 life. That is what always made this bullshit to me. But as long as Peta lived, Creasy didn't care.

Denzel Washington saying "Hijo de la gran puta" is wholesome. Tony Scott did an amazing film. The editing and cinematography are excellent and Washington's acting is as always, superior. I can't remember how many times I've seen this film and it's better with each viewing. Such talent is now gone.
I no This was one of the best movie's This was an absolute masterpiece I'm Talking about Man on fire Send it for me pretty please I no There's a lot of Absolutely Brilliant movie's of Denzel Washington out There🙏🙏
We all dream of revenge like this if god forbid something like this happened to us. That's why I think it's so appealing to us as an audience in so many ways. That's where the critics got it wrong, they had no feeling for it
It’s not in the same context whatsoever and I know this movie came out before The Dark Knight but it really does remind me of what Michael Caine says in that film regarding how some men can’t be bought because it’s the principle of the matter. He coulda walked, he coulda got paid…but he didn’t because it’s not about that. It’s about sending a message and an idea. Another masterpiece film is V For Vendetta and one of the greatest lines ever is…”ideas are bulletproof”. Absolutely adore this film, just a masterpiece. Rest in paradise to Tony Scott for such a beautiful film.
Denzels most slept on movie. This film was an absolute masterpiece

3:12 That scream, is half of the movie. You can feel it. Just an awesome action movie.

Could have just traded them for Peeta. But I can also see how his life is needed as the other side May forever fear repercussions from him.
The Voice could not give himself over. In that world, his reputation is the only thing that provides protection for his family.
Creasy never planed on surviving his warpath. The voice did not offer peeta's life for his family he wanted Creasy.
I like to think Creasy had a bomb inserted in him and it blew the whole car up when they drove away
Can we just talk about what the voice was going through in that moment man had his family hostage and thought it was money he wanted instead he got to hear his brothers hand get blown off then yelled at that he is what the man wants

Creasy's life is reaffirmed, he is not just a killing machine. When called upon Creasy was able to give the ultimate sacrifice, his life, to save the life of another. His past sins of murder have not destroyed his soul.
@@remington351 excellently stated
Creasy sure does have a thing for removing fingers!
No, names, sabes quién soy? You know who I am?
Si, eres miembro de la hermandad. Proceeds to cut off a finger.
Torture he likes slow dearhs through torture. A good way to extort infos before they die.
And he's sick and tired of people saying there just a Professional😆
@@h.c4898 Off to the next life for them. He guarantees they won't be lonely.
🥇Man on fire
🥈American gangster
🥉Training Day
Don't care about Training Day. Him handing the phone to this man and shooting off his other hand with a shotgun and then saying he doesn't care about money but he wants HIM? Coldest scene in movies.
I randomly decided to watch this with my brother and sister 20 years ago. Wow. Especially in that time and age. Wow.
Hold on. The math is off. That's two lives for a life.
Is actually way off, is 3 lives for 1. Wife, baby, and brother for Creasy. Dude sure knows how to bargain haha.
@@nobytes2 You're hired as the lawyer on this case.
😂. Such a tense situation... People make mistakes
It's actually way, way off. First it's Peta's life for Creasy's. Then it's Peta for the brother and Creasy. Then it just ends up being his ex-wife, the unborn baby, the brother and Creasy for Peta.
That is 4 lives for 1 life. That is what always made this bullshit to me. But as long as Peta lived, Creasy didn't care.
@@TheKessi1000 Throw in The Voice who Creasy originally wanted and it's 5 lives for 1.
this movie made me feel all emotions. i got chills so many times.
The sound as it builds towards the moment that Chrissy shoots off the man's fingers. Work together perfectly.
The most real bad ass movie EVER !!!!
Old man snake theme should be playing throught all his scenes
Einfach nur klasse der Film .Denzel ist Cool.
Man one ☝🏽 the best scene in all
Of cinema. It’s was great sign of relief.
Why am I getting all these Man on fire clips all of a sudden?
It's a good movie...they don't make them like this anymore. Enjoy.
You or someone else said the words " man on fire " around your cell phone or alexa. Same thing happened to me.
me too, seems to be the youtube algorithm
@@blakeslide6919 You're electronic devices are always listening. Even when you aren't using them. If you or someone around you mentions something like a product or movie, it will pop up on youtube
Because every single one of us guys that has a set of nuts might be torchering some child molester.. seeing ☝️that our government doesn’t mind that this stuff goes on. Even publicizing it.
My favorite part of the movie lol you know ur stressed out when u gotta take a smoke break
A Tony Scott masterpiece.
Love the casting in this movie.
whenever I think about applying for a security guard job i get a flashback to this movie
Denzel Washington saying "Hijo de la gran puta" is wholesome.
Tony Scott did an amazing film. The editing and cinematography are excellent and Washington's acting is as always, superior. I can't remember how many times I've seen this film and it's better with each viewing. Such talent is now gone.
Been searching for that words Hijo. ........ escuchar !! Thanks for writing it down
I no This was one of the best movie's This was an absolute masterpiece I'm Talking about Man on fire Send it for me pretty please I no There's a lot of Absolutely Brilliant movie's of Denzel Washington out There🙏🙏
La bambina gli dato un senso di vita e lui la salvata❤❤😢
I have Paramount plus but I got it in 4k hdr it's even more incredible
no inv?
best scene of all time , the best is when he says Peta is dead like a soldier !
Denzel the most slept on actor in the last 20 years he don't need the awards we all know why he got passed over
We all dream of revenge like this if god forbid something like this happened to us. That's why I think it's so appealing to us as an audience in so many ways. That's where the critics got it wrong, they had no feeling for it
The critics don't have children. Children would take the attention off them.
Your brother wants to speak puuum, I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY, I WANT YOU! jajaja brilliant
It’s not in the same context whatsoever and I know this movie came out before The Dark Knight but it really does remind me of what Michael Caine says in that film regarding how some men can’t be bought because it’s the principle of the matter. He coulda walked, he coulda got paid…but he didn’t because it’s not about that. It’s about sending a message and an idea. Another masterpiece film is V For Vendetta and one of the greatest lines ever is…”ideas are bulletproof”. Absolutely adore this film, just a masterpiece. Rest in paradise to Tony Scott for such a beautiful film.
1:39 When I'm moving around with my bare feet and I hit my toe with something.
lmao
Hahahahaha damnit
Merci pour le partage ! DENZEL WASHINGTON , THE BEST acteur ! 👍👏🐞🦋🌹
How many jump cuts and close ups do you want in the movie?
DIRECTOR: ¡Si!
My best Denzel's movie, the best actor ever
This movie was a remake. But remake was better than the original
Denzel Washington 👍😍Best actor
Hands down
exactly Punk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What it shows is how Denzel is one of the greatest !! Brando , deniro , Denzel , gary Oldman …
I wish they would’ve made a part 2 a second movie for this. This is one of the best movies.
This has some very saw vibes. Especially the sounds when Denzel shoots Daniel’s brothers hand.
Exelente actor..me encanta sus peliculas desde 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️
