Will they be able to foil the terrorist plot against them?

I haven't read the prequel to this so maybe some of points will have been different if I had.

When I first started understanding the full story, I was very surprised at how short the book was. I was wondering how you could unpiece such a large scale operation in such a short book.

The story is fast-paced and the short chapters only add to this. I read it very quickly and enjoyed the pulse racing action.

I like the diversity of characters and the insight into CIA/MI6 operations. Its also a very current story.

I felt the hidden past mentioned on the cover was a little underwhelming. Overall the story was very neat, in every tense moment there is someone or something to save the day.

Whatever It Takes

Man on Fire- is a excellent action thriller, that I have seen about 5-7 times. Its a really great movie, not sure why critics didnt like this movie. Cause Denzel is excellent, Dakota is excellent. The action, suspense and drama is excellent. Its only downfall is its slow for the 1st half, than picks up during the 2nd half.

The plot: In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance.

Its a vengeanful film. Packed with action, suspense and drama.
