I loved this movie. A very touching story about a broken man who is trying to get his life back, at least a little bit, then is crushed once again. He moves on and redeems himself, with his very life, protecting and recovering the little girl he was sworn to protect.
I just saw this movie about a week ago, and really enjoyed it. Dakota Fanning's role was much more limited than I thought it was going to be. Denzel Washington was superb once again. I would recommend it to anyone, keeping in mind the graphic nature of some of the scenes. 2
A wave of kidnappings has swept through Mexico, feeding a growing sense of panic among its wealthier citizens, especially parents. In one six-day period, there were twenty-four abductions, leading many to hire bodyguards for their children. Into this world enters John Creasy, a burned-out ex-CIA operative/assassin, who has given up on life. Creasy's friend Rayburn brings him to Mexico City to be a bodyguard to nine-year-old Pita Ramos, daughter of industrialist Samuel Ramos and his wife Lisa. Creasy barely tolerates the precocious child and her pestering questions about him and his life. But slowly, she chips away at his seemingly impenetrable exterior, his defenses drop, and he opens up to her. Creasy's new-found purpose in life is shattered when Pita is kidnapped"¦
