Review of "Man on Fire"
I loved the movie "Man on Fire" for many reasons, it was suspenseful, had a great plot, and kept me on the edge of my seat. The movie is made the be suspenseful and dramatic, so the camera angles, music, art direction, etc. is all designed in a way to add to the suspense. I actually liked how the film uses foreshadowing, at the beginning of the film it tells you about how Mexico City is known for the amount of kidnappings that they have been having lately, and then it introduces the characters of a wealthy prodominent family, with a young daughter and how they are looking for a security gaurd for her. So right away, I figured that it would be a story about the little girl being kidnapped, now usually that would bug me that I could just guess what was going to happen in a movie, but I didn't mind it this time because I had no idea how it was going the end. Everytime I watch this film I hope that there is a different ending (which obviously won't happen) because the ending of the film is very sad, and I always start to cry when I watch it. So overall, I love the movie "Man on Fire" because all the elements of the movie really add to the overall story and make it such a strong and memorable film.
