About this movie

Hard-drinking, burnt-out ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) has given up on life--until his friend Rayburn (Academy Award winner Christopher Walken) gets him a job as a bodyguard to nine-year-old Pita Ramos (Dakota Fanning). Bit by bit, Creasy begins to reclaim his soul, but when Pita is kidnapped, Creasy unleashes a firestorm of apocalyptic vengeance against everyone responsible.

Ratings and reviews

A redemption story. Denzel as always is brilliant and a very young Dakota Fanning, she is very talented. I hope she finds success as an adult.

Possibly Tony Scott's greatest film and Denzel Washington's most accomplished performance. Dakota Fanning was extraordinary.

You can't ask for better movie. Solid A.
