Trivia
Tony Scott was originally slated to direct, but the studio balked because at the time they felt he was not accomplished enough to pull off the project. He would go on to direct the second adaptation Hombre en llamas (2004).

Errores
In the second scene in the bedroom, Sam is at the window talking to Creasy and wearing a white top with a wavy edge to the sleeves. She's then seen getting onto her bed and the top now has smooth edges to the sleeves.

Man on Fire is more that what meets the eye

I enjoyed this film when it first came out and even more when I had a chance to see it again this weekend. Though billed and treated by most as an action/thriller/revenge film it's much more than that. The aspect that really grabbed me was the development of the relationship of Scott Glenn's Chris Creasy and Jade Malle's Samantha. The gradual development of the Creasy character from an isolated and emotionally shut down loner first into a friend and finally into a surrogate father and mentor to Samantha is touching and believable. Touching and believable as well is Samantha's simultaneous evolution from a lonely if charming rich kid into Creasy's surrogate daughter and protégé. I just wish Ms. Malle, who exhibited such a strong screen presence in this film had gone on to make more films than the one other movie and one TV show credited to her on the IMDb site.
