Fire With Fire (2012) 7/10

Starring : Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio
Director : David Barrett
Running Time : 98 mins

Firefighter Jeremy Coleman (Duhamel) witnesses a brutal murder during a convenience store hold up and is placed in witness protection when it is discovered that a powerful crime lord, David Hagan (D’Onofrio), was behind the murders. As he awaits his time to testify, his new identity becomes compromised, and Coleman is faced with a choice – keep running, or fight back.

This actually wasn’t that bad of a movie – just don’t expect lots of Bruce Willis. This is a Duhamel focussed flick which takes him from a hapless bystander to a vicious vengeance seeker in the space of an hour and a half. Fans of revenge movies will enjoy this, though the fact that the movie takes place over a long period seems to have bee n lost on many viewers who didn’t understand how he managed to become so good with a gun yet were happy to accept that Duhamel fell in love with Dawson in five minutes.
