Man on Fire (1987)
7/10
From Bodyguard to Best Friend
8 September 2019
I just found Millie Bobby Brown's look alike, not that I was looking.

Samantha Benetto (Jade Malle) is a carefree little girl that is the daughter of rich parents in Italy. That means potential kidnapping. The parents hire Creasy (Scott Glenn) to be Samantha's bodyguard. They form a tight bond and are inseparable until Samantha is kidnapped. Now Creasy will have to employ all of his skills to get her back.

I didn't like this as much as I liked the remake with Denzel Washington but it was decent. I didn't feel it as much as the remake--the relationship between Creasy and Sam or the sheer force of will that Creasy had become to get Sam back. It could simply be because I saw the remake first or it could be because Denzel is a superior actor.
