Just saw this Sunday night on HBO. I like Denzel Washington and really enjoyed this movie... Anyone else have an opinion?

Great flick. Mr. J-Lo is really good in that movie and DF really shows why she is the top up and coming star.

I was really surprised by this movie. Probably my favorite Denzel movie. Awesome tagline: Revenge is a meal best served cold.

Not sure it's my favorite Denzel movie, but it's damm close! I too was very surprised by the movie. I had actually never even heard of it, but found myself alone in front of the TV Sunday night - with a wife and 3 kids that doesn't happen too often... Really, really enjoyed the film!

That movie was RAW!!! I loved the production and lighting on it. It was very gritty and dirty. Denzel was friggin possessed! Denzel usually plays the good guy, but Man On Fire (even though he's the "hero") and Training Day (not a very good movie, IMO) were departures from his normal roles. I HIGHLY recommend Man On Fire!!!!

Director's cut is very good. Very music video-like, but that is Tony Scott's style. He gets in danger of falling into the "style over substance" category, but luckily he avoids it in this movie. It's his next movie that he totally has that problem (Domino).

Denzel is very good in pretty much everything he does IMHO. I will watch any movie with him as the star and can't think of one I didn't enjoy. I love that one movie "Fallen" what a great movie, any of you catch that?

This is one of my favorite movies. It is really well done, great script, great action, great cinemotography.

When it all goes to hell and Denzel just starts going off on everybody it's just pure classic.

This is one of my favorite movies in my collection. I love the shots and the gritty feel and the emotion of the movie.

I can watch this one again and again.
