Man on Fire (2004)
Description
CREASY'S ART IS DEATH, AND HE IS ABOUT TO PAINT HIS MASTERPIECE.
Spooktober is over, and as we approach the release of one of the year's biggest films in Gladiator II, we're knocking out some blindspots in the filmography of one of the titans of the film industry: Denzel Washington. This week we tackle his 2004 film from the great Tony Scott MAN ON FIRE. We talk revenge narratives, 2000s editing styles, strange Walken performances, and Denzel chewing the scenery every chance he gets. We also talk new releases like We Live in Time, Conclave, and Venom: The Last Dance, break down the legacies of 80s racism through Soul Man, and of course, we revisit Moonfall.
