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.

Chilling
It’s atmosphere that the author created was amazing and really drawled you in! The characters and animals had real personality and made you really connect with the book! I think that this was one of the most beautiful books I have read in a long time. Made me very ‘Toasty’

Perfect Slow Burn Suspense Novel
I'm not usually into slow burns that dont have any big reveals, but I really enjoyed this one. The characters were mostly pretty unlikeable but very interesting. I thought it had a very oddly satisfying ending. To see more of my thoughts you can check out my youtube video-

Even better than the first
What can I even say about this book without spoilers? It hurt me to put this book down and go to work while I was reading it. Nonstop, heart pounding plot twists that you could never predict.
Absolutely amazing book that built on the story and characters we love from the first one. Now I'm going to spend a year freaking out until the 3rd comes out.
