I wanted to see a movie this weekend, but I didn't want to see warmed over animated crap (Shrek 2), or warmed over sci-fi crap (The Chronicles of Riddick) or wacko environmentalist flicks (The Day After Tomorrow), or contribute to the Rowling Machine (Harry Potter and the blah, blah, blah). So, I went to the second-run theatre and watched Man On Fire.
I think the best way to describe this movie is by saying that it doesn't fuck around. Thumbs up.
