Man on Fire, 2008-10-16
Good story that unfortunately can be true. Denzel Washington did as expected a great job. Very emotional story about how a hard case former intel officer with a questionable past softens by the affection of a little girl. A movie that is worth watching several times.. Try not to have any distractions while watching as there are many details that may be missed such as facial expessions and other manerisms.

Where are the extras?, 2008-10-13
This is one of my favorite movies, but I wish there were more special features. There aren't any on this disc except for a few previews, Other than that, movie is great. The transfer was done really well, not quite like transformers, but still good.

Academy Award winner Denzel Washington (Training Day) is the last man who you don't want to cross in the striking thriller "Man on Fire". In Mexico City, former CIA assassin John Creasy (Washington) is hired by a wealthy Mexican businessman (Marc Anthony) to protect his daughter Pita (Dakota Fanning). As Creasy forms a close friendship with the child, she helps him recover some of his humanity. When Pita is kidnapped and her ransom attempt goes wrong, Creasy resorts to brutal methods to punish those responsible for the kidnapping. "Man on Fire" is a gripping thriller from director Tony Scott (Crimson Tide Enemy of the State). Despite the film's lengthy running time, the storyline holds out well and features some good twists. There are some pretty good action sequences and intense scenes of Washington's character torturing criminals to uncover the truth behind the kidnapping. Denzel Washington's top-notch performance is the film's biggest highlight. "Man on Fire" also stars Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken. br / br /Like many previous Blu-Ray releases from Twentieth Century Fox, "Man on Fire" falls short. The 2004 thriller is presented in a fine 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen format. Despite the presence of grain in some scenes, the video transfer offers rich natural colors, great detail and notable resolution. The DTS-HD audio is dynamic with some good surround effects. Unfortunately, the only extras in this Blu-Ray are the theatrical trailers for "Man on Fire" and other Twentieth Century Fox releases. If you're looking for special features, the 2-disc Collector Edition DVD is a better choice. Overall, "Man on Fire" gets a "B-".

Great movie, Poor blu-ray, 2008-09-26
I'm a big fan of this movie, and this release looks and sounds great. The special features, however, are non existent. No commentaries, no deleted scenes, no "making of", no special features at all. Either rent this, or wait for some kind of special edition to come out.
