Re: Man on Fire
The book, the Scott Glenn movie, or the Denzel Washington movie?
Or, maybe the band?

Re: Man on Fire
The Denzel Washington movie. It was being discussed in the Taken thread, so I thought I'd check it out. He does *way* worse things in this movie. Although the directer should be shot for the jumpy flashbacky filming. But - rectal c-4?! Jesus Christ!

Good flick.

Re: Man on Fire
Fantastic movie, but I thought they screwed up the ending. Should have had the dying Creasy Bear load himself with the C4 and blow himself and the bad guys to kingdom come. I heard Denzel suggested this ending, but they balked.
Re: Man on Fire
That's the sort of ending I had hoped for in Gran Torino.
