Professional Reviews

| : |
(04/21/2004, p.C1, Kenneth Turan): "[Fanning] turns Pita into a delightful, distinctive, self-possessed individual, likely the most mature youthful presence we'll see on screen all summer.", (04/23/2004, p.33, Roger Ebert): "We're absorbed by Washington's character.", (04/23/2004, p.7E, Mike Clark): "[The director] gives us solid chemistry between Fanning and lead Denzel Washington, plus a more complex than expected characterization by Radha Mitchell...", (11/01/2004, p.147, Andrew Sumner): "MAN ON FIRE explodes with some beautifully orchestrated mayhem that's driven by a cast of fully realised characters." |
