A fiery action film with no limits and beautiful music.

FORGIVENESS IS BETWEEN THEM AND GOD... ...IT IS MY JOB TO ARRANGE THE MEETING.Somehow when Denzel Washington says this line it is not as convincing as maybe Van Diesel. Washington and Dakota Fanning did their expected wonderful job, but the ending was all wrong for the movie.The movie starts out slow. Washington plays a Jack Daniels guzzling former CIA agent who reads the Bible. His partner, Christopher Walken, lands him a job guarding Dakota Fanning (Pita). Early in the movie we find out every rich person in Mexico hires a body guard, then gets kidnapping insurance from AIG for 10 million dollars, which the kidnappers know about. This sets you up for the expected plot twists which were not terrific.Denzel doesn't want to get friendly with Dakota, but ends up becoming her friend, father, swimming coach, chauffeur, etc. etc. Dakota Fanning gets kidnapped (box information). Denzel uses his CIA "walking tall" methods to go after the bad guys, which includes half of Mexico. The substandard script, slow beginning, and questionable ending took away from the production.The ending should have included a dramatic escape by Fanning involving her ability to swim as the movie centered so much on this aspect of her life.

This movie will make your emotions to go on fire. Denzel Washington has delivered great character of a private bodyguard who is former US assassin. He was shown as drunken spoiled man in the beginning, then comes his soft nature with the Dakota Fanning.where he train her swimming competition. and lastly after the kidnap he show his bad-ass assassin character who takes revenge for the death of the girl.Dakota Fanning plays the role of girl Lupita Ramos who is charming, smart and friendly. Her love instill the feeling of love and care in Denzel Washington character.Story wise movie is fabulous which will hold you attention through out the span And will keep your sentiments with the character as the movie move on. You might not be satisfied with the ending but you will have to accept the fact that, fate of the character is appropriate for the ending.

Denzel Washington and Tony Scott have made 5 films together. This is the best of that bunch from an incredible actor and influential director. It's brutal and unrelenting and I absolutely love it. It's emotionally powerful and gripping while also featuring fantastic stylish shots, a very talented ensemble cast with vicious but realistic violence and action
