Man On Fire (2004) 7/10

Starring : Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Marc Anthony, Radha Mitchell, Christopher Walken, Rachel Ticotin
Director : Tony Scott
Running Time : 140 mins

Ex CIA agent John Creasy (Washington) reluctantly takes a job babysitting the daughter of a wealthy family, Pita Martin Ramos (Fanning), amidst fears for her safety due to a recent spate of kidnappings. When the girl is snatched on his watch, Creasy sets out to find the kidnappers and make them pay for any harm they may have done the girl.

The chemistry between Washington and Fanning is what makes this movie so watchable, but once she's kidnapped the action takes over and goes far too overboard and drags on for too long. Thankfully the build up of the friendship between the two helps to make us as viewers more willing to sit back and wait to see if the two ever get reunited in the end.
