Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about them movies, the kind that make you grip your chair and sweat a little, you know? Like that “Man on Fire” flick. Yeah, the one with Denzel. He was good in that, real good.
So, you liked “Man on Fire,” huh? You want more of that stuff? I get it. It’s like eatin’ a good plate of fried chicken – you just want another piece. Well, there’s plenty more where that came from, honey. Lots of movies out there just like it. They call ’em “action movies” or “thrillers,” I think. Fancy words for shootin’ and fightin’, if you ask me.
One movie they say is kinda like “Man on Fire” is called “Safe”. Never seen it myself, but folks say it’s about a fella protectin’ a little girl. Sound familiar? Probably got lots of guns and bad guys, just like “Man on Fire.” Then there’s this “Man from Nowhere” movie. Foreign stuff, I reckon, but they say it’s good. Same kinda deal – tough guy, gotta protect someone. It’s always about protectin’ someone, ain’t it?
- Movies like Man on Fire, they got a few things in common.
- First off, there’s always a tough guy. A real mean one, but with a good heart, you know? Like Denzel. He was tough, but he cared about that little girl.
- Then there’s the innocent person they gotta protect. Sometimes it’s a kid, sometimes it’s a woman, but it’s always someone who can’t fight for themselves.
- And of course, there’s the bad guys. Lots of ’em, and they’re always doin’ nasty stuff. Kidnappin’, killin’, you name it. They deserve what they get, that’s for sure.
- Finally, there’s the action. Lots and lots of action. Guns, fists, explosions, the whole shebang. That’s what makes these movies so darn exciting. Gets your blood pumpin’, you know?
Now, if you’re lookin’ for more of these movies, you gotta know where to look. Some folks say Netflix has a few. I wouldn’t know, never used that fancy thing. But my grandson, he’s always watchin’ stuff on it. Says there’s all kinds of movies on there. And there’s Amazon too, I hear. They sell everything these days, so I guess they sell movies too. You can probably find ’em on them “iTunes” things too, whatever that is. Kids these days with their gadgets, I tell ya.
They say there’s like, 73 movies similar to “Man on Fire”. Seventy-three! That’s a whole lotta shootin’ and fightin’. I don’t know if I could watch all them movies. My old heart might not take it. But if you’re young and full of energy, go for it, honey. Knock yourself out.
And get this, they even made a sequel book for “Man on Fire,” called “The Perfect Kill.” About that same fella, Creasy, but years later. Sounds like more trouble for him, though. Plane blows up, wife and daughter gone… Poor fella just can’t catch a break. They say Denzel’s character wasn’t a real person, but kinda based on real stories about kidnappings. Scary stuff, but makes for a good movie, I guess.
Now, some folks like to talk about the “aesthetics” of “Man on Fire.” Big word, right? Means how it looks, I think. The colors, the way they film things, that kinda stuff. If you like that, you might like other movies that look the same way. I don’t know much about that, but I know what I like. And I like a good story with a good hero and a whole lotta bad guys gettin’ what they deserve.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a movie like “Man on Fire,” just remember what I told you. Tough guy, innocent person, bad guys, and lots of action. You find a movie with all that, and you’re good to go. Now, go on and watch a movie. And don’t forget to make some popcorn. It ain’t a movie night without popcorn, you know?
And if you really get into these kinds of movies, seems like there are places online, like “Reddit” and such, where folks talk about ’em. You can find more suggestions there, I reckon. Just be careful what you click on, you hear? Lots of crazy stuff on that internet.
Alright, I’m done talkin’ about movies. My throat’s gettin’ dry. Time for some sweet tea. You kids have fun now, and don’t stay up too late watchin’ all them violent movies. You need your sleep, you know?
