If Man on Fire hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: kidnapping and revenge

Common ground: revenge
The difference: Reviewed even better

Kinetic and contemplative in the same breath
The difference: Leans harder into crime than Man on Fire does

One thread runs through both: bodyguard
The difference: Trades the stillness of Man on Fire for an angle of its own

Both land tension and relentlessness at once
The difference: 32 years apart, and the 1970s show

Kinetic action, and it commits to that

The same preoccupation in both: kidnapping

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases


Action built on relentlessness, twice over

Both keep coming back to the same thing: cell phone

Common ground in both: mexico and gun battle
