The idea that a little girl in danger would be locked out of her tutor's home two seconds after leaving is just ridiculous.
That said, Denzel and Dakota's acting are top notch. Denzel's redemption arc from alcoholic war criminal to a bodyguard acting as a substitute father is powerful and heart warming.
Everyone in this movie gives 100%, from villains to heros. Action scenes are worthy of John Wick, before there was John Wick.
Character development is one dimensional. No one evolves aside from Denzel and Dakota. There are massive shortcuts in logic and many cringy moments.
Man on Fire is competent, but far behind Training Day and Equalizer, which are the best of Denzel's works.
