Review of Man on Fire (2004) by David Sterritt for Christian Science Monitor — 31 Dec 2017
The first hour is sharply directed, character-driven drama that ranks with Scott's best work. Then he lapses into his usual mode - more a bombardier than an entertainer, filling the screen with sadistic violence and arbitrary plot twists.
In all, a wasted opportunity.
