Man On Fire Review from HighDefDigest

[cajmoyper]

I never saw this but now I do. That happens a lot. I won't have any interest in a movie til it's out on Blu. But the reason I didn't want to see this was because after Training Day, Denzel was completely typecasted and since then has lost some of his versatility. I hope he can get that back with a different type of movie. He was supposed to do Hannibal, you know the kickass genius general?

Anyone know the reason this isn't available in stores?

It's a Fox catalog title, which means retailers were in no rush to get it by street date, so they paid for the cheaper (slower) shipping.

Most stores will probably get them today or tomorrow.

This was a very good movie and it is good to see that it was done justice on blu.

When I was at Bestbuy someone asked about it and it was not even on order yet.

Denzel typecast after Training Day? I guess you haven't seen John Q, The Great Debaters, Antwone Fischer, Manchurian Candidate, Inside Man to name a few. All these were after Training Day.

Apart from American Gangster, he's not a hardcore thug in any of his movies like he was in Training Day.

I disagree. Look at his filmography post Training Day. Very versatile roles:

Man on Fire
The Manchurian Candidate
Inside Man
Déjà Vu
American Gangster
The Great Debaters

As for Man on Fire, I love that movie. I'll have to break down and get it even if it's bare bones.
