Denzel Washington Thriller On Amazon Gives Academy Award Winner One Of His Best Roles

The narrative of Man On Fire sees Denzel Washington’s former CIA officer John Creasy taking on a simple bodyguard position for a wealthy Mexico City-based automotive manufacturer. Despite his private struggles with alcoholism and depression, Creasy takes on the role, which requires him to keep a watchful eye on his employer’s young daughter, Pita.

Over the course of the film’s first act, Creasy progressively learns to take his bodyguard role more seriously, as he develops genuine feelings of affection for the little girl, and even teaches her how to swim while her parents are too busy.
