This is one of those movies that you can watch every few years and never get tired of it.

[@brucecsnell]

I have to stop myself or I'd watch it several times a year.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

its one of Denzel's classics. gritty, compelling, and really nice plot development with a serious twist that will put the first time watcher right on their ass. its a great movie, i can watch it every so often.

[@MarkGoldstone]

​@@brucecsnell o

[@ExecuMutant]

Denzel: Do you think God will forgive us for what we've done?" Walken: No. A hint of what kind of men they were.

[@nickwoyurka6820]

Lol I use to watch this movie like every 2 days cause I actually thought he was a real person and I just couldn’t believe how amazing it was.. ( would be lol ) if it was but Denzel is one of the best in my opinion by far

[@gingerbreadman1969]

Y'all were angry when Creasy died at the end, but that was the most beautiful and merciful way for him to go at that point. The cartel or whoever they were would have made it last for days in the most excruciating way possible, this way he still nobly gave his life for the girl and God spared Creasy/ St. Jude the price he was willing to pay. Beautiful.

[@bettyboop8241]

Yess! I watched this movie in theaters when I was 13 i was so mad and sad at Creasy dying.... He deserved to escape with Liza and Pita. Unfortunately that is reality. They would of tortured him in the worst kinds of ways.... Probably getting him a doctor to cure his beatings and keep beating him for pleasure... Saw that in a Famous Cartel Series

[@MegaKat]

I prefer the alternate version of this, where it shows them bringing Creasy to The Voice. Then Creasy hits a button and explodes, ass first. He used the same butt bomb he used on the president of La Hermindad.

[@8lackbeard791]

Apparently, the scene where Pita says "you're smiling" and Creasy responds "no I'm not" was improvised by the actress to catch him off guard, so a very special moment

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

I legitimately think Denzel had more on screen chemistry with Dakota fanning than he's had with any other co star in his career. This is an emotionally HEAVY film and she absolutely killed it

[@michaelali5952]

I'm looking forward to them reuniting for the first time in the Equalizer 3.

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

I believe the working title is Equalizer 3: Man On Fire 2 And you find out that he is in fact John Creasy

[@nemya9586]

​@@brandonhinrichs4393 🙌🏽 that makes so much sense 😆😅

[@tkkirkland9128]

​@@brandonhinrichs4393I don't like that Sequence because Creasy was believed to have died.

[@commsense1979]

When Christopher Walken's character describes how a person can be an artist in anything... And then says "Creasy's art is death... He's about to paint his masterpiece". Gives me CHILLS everytime I hear it. I tear up whenever I see the reunion between Creasy and Pita, when he assures her that he loves her. It's comforting to know he died of his wounds and did not suffer any torture.

[@brucecsnell]

That is my favorite line from this movie.

[@Rage867]

In the extended original ending as Creasy's eyes lose focus the camera pans down to his watch as it counts down. He hid a bomb inside himself to take out the last knowing he would die and this way would not put Pita at risk. It was cut because it was better to leave it ambiguous.

[@brucecsnell]

@@Rage867 That suggests that the first time I saw the movie, I saw the extended cut, because every time I have rewatched it, I've been confused by the lack of exploding car at the end. 🤣🤣🤣

[@brentbeardsley655]

Walken owns this performance. Denzel also but Christopher plays this part like a boss.

[@williamsummerson1204]

One of my favorite lines of all time. A phenomenal movie.

[@rickblanton4883]

A lot of people say Training Day is Denzel Washington's most hardcore role, but for my money it's this. I have a hard time saying this is his best role, due to how varied his acting credentials are. The man literally becomes whomever he's portraying.

[@Darknight127]

Agreed!

[@brianjones8432]

What's your favorite Denzel movie? Answer: Yes

[@Wraiven22]

I really love Deja Vu too!

[@thanossnap4170]

@@Wraiven22 He is excellent in John Q! That movie is glorious. "Sick! Help! Sick Help!" I rewatch it once every few years.

[@maingate7672]

PTSD and alcohol don't mix. To all the veterans out there, we love you, we need you, we want you safe at home. Peace be upon you.

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

I love how this is basically a redemption story. Creasy had done so much evil and violence in his life, that when he asked Christopher Walken if he thought God would ever forgive them, you understood his despair and trauma. Then here comes this pure little girl who loved him so much that he opened up and loved her too. Then she was taken away and his terrible gifts of the past became a tool to take down not only the entire huge kidnapping ring but to save Pita. Because of Creasy, none of the monsters would ever kidnap and kill anyone ever again. He felt good for what he had done, terrible things that saved his beloved Lupita and who knows who else. He was a Lost Cause who found Peace in the end. Absolutely fantastic movie. Good book too but I actually like the film better.

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@keithmays8076]

In short, a broken Ronin with no direction, cause, or master was given a second chance at life. Then when Lupita was taken and was thought dead, he knew exactly what any Ronin would do if they lost sole reason of being: revenge. Revenge ,even at the risk of losing their own life , will be their only cause of existing.

[@johnfriday5169]

It's more or less a Solomon Cane story. The Damned soul believing himself beyond redemption making a selfless sacrifice that does save his soul from the hell he believed was certain.

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

@@johnfriday5169 Oh, I love that. Big Solomon Kane fan. My favorite Robert E Howard male character after Conan.

[@Donnybrook10]

you guys missed a few key points. In the beginning, Creasy asked the other dude if he thought God would forgive them for what they have done. The answer was a hard no...then they just moved on. So he was a man on fire...destined for Hell. Pita saw the good in him and when the Nun told him he was Pita's father that day, it hit him. She was no longer just a job...he really cared for her and she for him. He started reading the Bible and stopped drinking. Pita brought him back and saved him. And by sacrificing himself, he saved Pita and his soul.

[@cmock810]

The way that this man convinced me, through the screen, of his love for that little girl, brings me to tears every time.

[@JerisEve]

That scene on the bridge between Pita and Creasey destroys me every time. She redeemed him, but she was very smart. When she looked back at Creasey, she knew he was going to die. This is a favorite. Watching it while you guys tried to figure out what would happen next was more fun than I could say.

[@willbass82]

44:58 i love how they give us Creasy's whole name, date of birth nd death..it almost makes u forget that he's a character that doesnt actually exist! Kudos to Tony Scott for his amazing direction(RIP)

[@jeffcampbell5206]

"I wish you had more time." Just an epic scene.

[@WolfHreda]

Radha Mitchell is a criminally underrated actress. Especially when it comes to playing a mother in crisis. If you guys haven't seen Silent Hill, I recommend it. It's a solid horror movie and a much better adaptation than just about any other video game movie you'll find. She's fantastic in it. Also, if you want another Denzel thriller, check out The Bone Collector.

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

She’s great in Pitch Black too.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

Silent Hill (the movie) is arguably the best game to movie adaptation ever done yet. and done properly. resident evil is a close one, but i always thought the budget they had for those was too limited to meet the scale of what the games had delivered the first resident evil movie remains my favorite.

[@kflowers8276]

Agreed, no matter the role she always portrays a strong woman regardless of the character's flaws

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

My favorite Denzel Washington movie is Fallen. My second favorite is this: Man on Fire. When his wife found out that Dakota Fanning was cast, she went on and on about how fantastic this little child actor was. Denzel knew nothing about her but said he thought, “I better step up my game for this one” because of her reputation. This film is perfectly cast.

[@aklimar2208]

Fallen is my favorite movie, period. Most people have never even heard of it too.

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

It’s GREAT. I watch it every October!

[@ianmichelson768]

Fallen is a brilliant movie

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

Absolutely.

[@eyxom]

This is one of my favorite all-time movies. Denzel is perfect in this movie. "Creasy is about to paint his masterpiece" gets me every time. Also, the bullet he handed the father after saying, "A bullet always tells the truth. It didn’t work for me. Maybe it'll work for you" is the one that misfired when Creasy tried to kill himself.

[@TroutFlyFisher]

Yep every man is an artist. I think Walken probably delivered the most killer line in the movie. I love that scene.

[@Ghazrin]

Came here for this comment. I was disappointed that they didn't catch/react to that line. In a film full of great moments, my favorite is that they tied that 9mm dud back in at that scene. Creasy walks away *knowing* that it would work for Ramos.

[@zerolsr2228]

She gave him a second chance at life and he used that second life to save hers which ultimately cost his, a even trade in his eyes. With no hesitation he agreed his life for hers during that final phone call to the voice.

[@chez520]

Exactly. People have asked why he sacrificed his life for her. She gave him life. He became a whole new person who could feel again.

[@normapounders7082]

Roy Orbison made the original version of Blue bayou that's the best one

[@McCool117]

The thing you missed is the bullet that Peta's dad killed himself with, is the same bullet that didn't prime when Creasy tried to kill himself. That's why it was in Peta's notebook. Also the poetic nature of Creasy dying in the car, meant that Daniel "The Voice" never got to get revenge for all the damage that Creasy caused while on his crusade.

[@igloo2158]

My favorite Denzel movie. So good. Two lines I’ve said hundreds of times. “I wish…..you had…..more time.” And, “He’s about to paint his masterpiece.”

[@cuzidodgebullets6797]

Dakota fanning in this movie was excellent. Her panicked face during the shootout and kidnapping is etched into my mind. I KNOW it's not real and I STILL feel it in my soul. One of my all-time favorite movies!

[@jwmson7791]

Denzel can play any role. He’s one of the greatest of all time. Every time I watch this I cry my eyes out. Such powerful performances by him AND a young Miss Dakota Fanning! 💔♥️♥️

[@podmat]

Denzel's performance was extremely good. The man was basically broken and dead inside, but loving this little child made him feel alive again and you really feel for him. Simply superbly presented. Perhaps one of his best roles.

[@15anaro]

The significance of giving the bullet was that it was the same bullet that he tried to use on himself, "they say a bullet always tells the truth"

[@catewright1575]

Omg i legitimately slow clapped when BJ recognized dakota fanning's name and reputation. She is sooo underrated as amazingly talented as she is and she's worked with so many incredible actors since she was a kid! She's doing equalizer 3 with denzel and i can't wait to see their chemistry now when she's grown up. I love your reactions and you guys are always entertaining to watch!

This is a remake of a 1987 film, and in my opinion, one of Denzel's best film. I actually didn't know what to think of it the first time I watched it, but it grows on you like a fungus, and seriously gets better with every watching. The acting is just top notch, from Denzel and Dakota, all the way down to the smallest characters. Everyone is so believable.

Dacota was the best child actor in the world, when this movie came out I was in awe how this child plays! Props to her, I will never forget how Orlando Bloom had to hold her so she can reach the microphone when she won an award,so she can give her speech.

[@GrayBuchanan-wq9sg]

Tony Scott, brother of Ridley Scott, is underrated as a director. He also directs my favorite movie True Romance, which was a Quentin Tarantino script and features an iconic Christopher Walken scene, plus a great cast incl. Brad Pitt and pre-sopranos Gandolfini. An unrecognizable Gary Oldman as a pimp and Val Kilmer as Elvis, truly superb.

[@Tomcat088]

This is one of my favorite movies, and there was strong acting from everyone in this movie. I’m sure others have said, but the marks on his hands were from him being tortured in the line of duty. He worked for a 3 letter government agency that starts with a C, but had to do the dark dirty work. He and Christopher Walken had worked together and had done unspeakable things. That’s why they asked each other if they thought God would ever forgive them for the things they had done; and then they thought that He wouldn’t. Creasy’s specialty was torture and death and that’s why Christopher Walken said he was about to paint his masterpiece. Creasy had already been in so many dark places and thought his life was worthless, and that he was unredeemable. There’s definitely an interesting play on the water where he’s bleeding, and washing himself of the blood and being cleansed figuratively for his sins. The attorney and the dad were in on an insurance scam together, and wanted to collect the insurance policy for her death, but they ripped off the guys that were supposed to be in on it. Because of that, they thought that she legitimately died, but Denzel wouldn’t let it go. It was a beautiful movie and Dakota Fanning did an amazing job of acting, especially for as young as she was. Great movie, and great reaction. Thank you!

[@klove5765]

The fact that Creasy was suicidal made it easy for him to go all out

[@ChristinaMcF]

I remember feeling the same way you did the 1st time I saw this movie. You need to follow it up with Training Day and Déjà Vu. You won't be sorry. Denzel won an Oscar for Training Day.

[@RickAlonso]

Deja Vu is very underrated movie but it is very entertaining. Training Day is a classic, I doubt they haven't seen it.

[@MrTuubster]

I love the music in this one. Nine Inch Nails was perfectly chosen. Even the title of the song is "The mark has been made". Perfection!

[@markc.7984]

A genuinely great, heart-wrenching movie. She redeemed him, then at the end he gave his life for her. Strong Jesus vibes, he literally traded himself to set the captive free from bondage.

[@IChooseJesus9091]

One of my all time favorites - if not the all time favorite! Thanks for reacting to this. It's an all star cast. Denzel Washington/Christopher Walken/ Radha Mitchell/Marc Anthony/Mickey Rourke/ Giancarlo Giannini as the kidnapping Detective/Rachel Ticotin as the Reporter/Angelina Peláez as Sister Ana/& Dakota Fanning. Angelina Peláez is an unknown in this for me, but she is WONDERFUL! They all are. Dakota Fanning was in the Twilight Movies as an adult, & has been in numerous others as a child. This is a movie about Redemption. Btw - The police in the U.S. also have a brotherhood, or more than one. They probably do in every country. And did you know - the police in the U.S. have there own Bill of Rights, separate from the U.S. Bill of Rights? It means they don't have to go by the U.S. Bill of Rights... There are images online that prove what I'm saying. I suggest Dragonfly with Kevin Costner next! It's a BEAUTIFUL supernatural mystery.

[@janetf23]

Your mention of Angelina Peláez brought to mind 2001's 'The Mexican' which is imo an underrated romcom adventure farce with a cast that really delivers💥👍

[@bobbierobinson6269]

I love Denzel, but I think this maybe my favorite movie by him. He was definitely on fire. They took the only thing he loved and he gave them what they deserved. Creasy didn't ever think he would live when he went after them, because he thought his only reason for living was gone. God gave him his life when that gun didn't shoot and he used it to save an innocent. "John Q" is amazing also.

[@tonyben3]

This was a fantastic movie and it's special to me. I had just gotten divorced when this came out and I was a single dad with a daughter slightly younger than Dakota Fanning at the time. I saw it in the theaters with some friends from church and held back many tears during the movie. My daughter and I did everything together and she looked to me for security in a crazy world much the same way that Pita looked to Creasy for security in her crazy world. I was an utterly destroyed and broken man, like Creasy was but having a little girl to care for gave me purpose and got me through very dark times. Again, the parallel between Creasy and Pita. I listen to Blue Bayou every few days because of this movie and I've been doing it for nearly 20 years now. Thanks for reviewing this movie. I highly recommend Last of the Mohicans by Michael Mann. It's a truly moving movie and has one of the most epic endings I've ever seen in a movie. Others on the list are The Deer Hunter with Robert DeNiro and Christopher Walken, The Ghost and the Darkness with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. More recently, Hostiles with Christian Bale, Rosamond Pike and Wes Studi. Rosamond Pike gives one of the best performances I've ever seen in in the history of cinema in one particular scene. If you ever watch it, you'll know the scene when you see it. -Tony.

Of all the outstanding characters Denzel Washington has played, this one is my favorite. No matter how many times I've seen this movie (many, many..) the scene where Creasy is walking across the bridge and Pita is running towards him....still brings me to tears: and of course, that moment when the mother finally has Pita back, it gives me the chills. Its that moment , a miracle that very rarely happens in the real world. In so many of these cases of kidnapping, it's usually not a happy ending.

[@thisblackgirlslife]

This is one of the most romantic, heartwarming and sad and violent films ever! Emotional rollercoaster!

[@kristopherryanwatson]

I'm glad you both enjoyed this one. it was a pleasure to rewatch with you. Man on Fire is a Denzel Washington classic -- one of his best movies ever. I've watched it more times than i can count over the years and never get bored with it.

[@lfyoung]

for a lot of people, the soft quiet way they show him opening up to her and starting to smile and laugh, will be just glossed over, when in reality when everything in life has crashed and been ripped out of your soul. the pure act of kindness and unconditional love from someone. in this case a beautiful little girl with a pure heart, shows him that there are still good moments in life to experience. i know how he feels, I've been there and in many ways I'm still living there. this is one of the greatest movies ever made.

[@darkphyn]

That's why the dad insisted on Pita taking piano lessons, when she didn't want to - the easiest place to make the kidnapping happen.

'Ask her what she calls her bear!' 'She calls the bear, Creasy Bear.' I die every time.

My favorite Denzel movie and I've seen ALL his movies. People don't understand why Creasy went through so much for Pita. He was all but dead at the beginning. Alcoholic, suicidal. Nothing mattered to him. Pita brought him back to life and made him care for someone and for himself. He had to get them all for what they did to her. This is a remake. The original is good too. Some similar things but a different ending.

When I saw this for the first time, I thought he had the second suppository in him and would blow up the car with The Voice in it. Recently, I found out that he does use it to kill The Voice in an alternative ending. Creasy is such a great character. The cinematography, the score, and basically everything about this movie are spectacular.

The bullet he gave her dad. he said maybe it will work for you. that was the same bullet, that he tried to use on his self.

Dakota Fanning also played Tom Cruise’s daughter in War Of The Worlds. That’s another very intense movie you should consider reacting to.

[@riffgroove]

To this day, one of Denzel's best roles. And still one of my favorite films.

[@mikecheeriot2650]

You guys should watch "I Am Sam", Dakota Fanning first breakout role. She was sooo good in that movie.

[@MrGorn25]

Best lines from this movie "Did you say goodbye to her?....here is your chance...say goodbye." and "I wish....wish you had more time..."

[@David-hr5ml]

I have a ton of respect for Denzel. I saw him give a graduation speech. He is almost a genius.

[@madladnate]

I love the scene when he wants her to run, so he fires his gun in the air, to snap her into jumping off the blocks in a swim meet, and getting her to move without fear.

[@meadmaker4525]

This is one of Denzel's best. Excellent film. Hope y'all make your way to seeing Hidden Figures at some point.

[@alparker8543]

Everything Denzel Washington is in is a great movie. One of my favourite actors.

[@tinanickerson1006]

He got a chance to show and feel love again through Pita...he was tired and wrecked emotionally from having lived the life military secret service. He left the world the only way he knew how too my giving his life while fighting for life...our military men and women deal with this on a daily basis. They come back from service,some of them never ever knowing how to get past what they became in service to our country. My father was a Vietnam Vet. He never got passed it. Next time you see a vet stop and shake their hands ..heck give them a hug...it's the least we can do for what they sacrifice.

[@JoMammaSmurf]

I first watched this movie like over 10 years ago. I watched it again recently and ohhhh man it hit me different. I have a young daughter now and I didn't expect to feel so much more invested emotionally.

[@AyeItsGabo]

I've never laughed so much during a action movie 🤣🤣🤣 yall had me cracking up

[@markrooker5971]

"Man on Fire" was directed by Tony Scott (Ridley Scott's brother). Do yourself a favor and check out another Tony Scott directed film, "True Romance". It was written by Quentin Tarantino. So, it's really a love story, but, since Tarantino wrote it there's a lot of violence. Actors include Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Val Kilmer, James Gandolfini, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, & Sameul L Jackson. A must see film!

[@madturtle8826]

100% my favorite movie of all time. The revenge aspect is cool, but the movie is about love and redemption. I cry EVERY SINGLE TIMEI WATCH THIS MOVIE.

[@vincemac2223]

I love this movie. Denzel was amazing in this movie. Its one of my all time favorites. If you have not seen it yet watch The Equalizer. He is amazing in that one too.

[@Sythyn30]

There is a silver lining to Creasy's death, first off he was able to find redemption and salvation in saving Peeta's life and... Had he not died there in the car peacefully can you imagine how bad and long they would have tortured him for all the trouble he caused? It's sad that he passes at all but I would rather see him go that way on his terms than the things they would have planned for him had he lived.

[@nettricegaskins1871]

Creasy wasn't trying to live any more. Saving Pita was his redemption.

[@Rubicon2305]

The scene where the mom asks him, "what are you going to do?" .... that's where the movie REALLY starts. Also, fun fact - Dakota Fanning and Denzel Washington reunite in the film Equalizer 3, due to be released Sept. 2023.

[@brandiannmclain]

Definitely in my top 5.. Denzel and little(at the time) Dakota Fanning did soo good in this movie..makes me cry everything, which says alot, for me. Love that you guys enjoyed this!!

[@huntedsoul87]

Gem of a movie. This is one of my top movies of all time.

[@seanhutt4621]

For my money this is the greatest movie in the genre of " you messed with the wrong guy" Also of note not a single person doesn't tell him everything he wants to know The Man on fire title is a double entendre both how he's burning with a passion for revenge and when he climbs into the pool and treads water the blood from his gun wounds looks like he's on fire It's funny sad and passionate all at the same time while being real and tragic .... IMHO top 10 movie all time

[@oxyiscool]

One of the first scenes explains how the dad was involved, when he and the lawyer were talking over lunch right near the beginning.....

[@DJ-hl8mg]

FINALLY!! THANK YOU!! Someone finally reacts to this movie!! One of Denzels best!! 💯🔥🔥

[@Charlee1776]

I've always loved this movie. I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it too. Denzel Washington is just a fantastic actor! If you ever want another hidden gem starring him, check out Fallen from the late 90s. Also, I hope you are both having a wonderful holiday season so far!

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

Fallen is my favorite Denzel Washington film!

[@MsPxeDst]

YES! Fallen is a great movie, I really like that movie alot

[@RebeccaODonnell-1941]

@@MsPxeDst It’s an October staple for me every year. I watch one of my favorite scary movies every day in October, saving the most adored films for the last.

[@kennethspears22]

Great chemistry between Denzel and Dakota. Can't wait to see them reunited in The Equalizer 3.

[@newcreationinchrist1423]

Denzel is one of my favorite actors! You know when people say your first name and they already know who you are, you are the man. Denzel is the man. Or the man on fire, I should say 🙂🙏
