When I viewed this movie less than an hour ago, I had no idea it was a made for TV movie. I found this surprising because it had such great acting, cinematography, and score.

While the plot was great, the actions and reactions of some of the characters to the situations they found themselves in was a bit suspect.

It is hard to believe that the State Police or the FBI did not step in when it became obvious that there was a serial killer, or killers, at large. It is also implausible that the young rape victim would have held up as well as the girl in the movie did, and that the written press and broadcast TV did not get access to the story.

However, given these faults,I still found this one to be a perfect movie to watch on a scorching NC afternoon.

Tom Selleck has still got it.

Once again, Denzel Washington has turned in an Oscar winning performance. This was a very gritty movie with wry, to the point dialogue. The scenes leading up to the where Denzel becomes the "man on fire" may have seemed a little long, but were necessary in order for the audience to understand Creasy's character and his relationship with Dakota Fanning's Pita. After we learn this, it easy to see why he goes on his killing spree. As for the supporting cast, Dakota Fanning is a great actor for one so young and Christopher Walken is ,as always, fun to watch. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the use of rapid-fire camera shots and blurred shots. Other than that , I believe this will be one of the years best movies.
