A wave of kidnappings has swept through Mexico, feeding a growing sense of panic among its wealthier citizens, especially parents.

John Creasy, a burned-out ex-CIA operative, who has given up on life, is hired to be a bodyguard to nine-year-old Pita Ramos, daughter of industrialist Samuel Ramos and his wife Lisa. Creasy barely wants to open up about him and his life to this little girl. 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. Despite being mortally wounded during the kidnapping, he vows to kill anyone involved in or profiting from the kidnapping. And no one can stop him. (movies.yahoo.com)

It's about a man who has lost interest in life. But, slowly he has his life back when he became a bodyguard of a little girl. When the girl was kidnapped and told has been murdered, he vowed to revenged for her. The pursuing was intense and the way he dealt with the bad guys was tough and cruel.

The downside of this movie is that too much violence and quite cruel and merciless, I think.

Regardless of the cruelty and merciless, this movie is telling us about love, loyalty, and spirit.

The movie is completely ridiculous. The story line is so bland. The visual tech is tacky. The laugh factor is there but not enough.

Recommend:
Not worth the money to watch at cinema. Better wait for the DVD rental. N only rent it for passing the time.

Why is it ridiculous?

The antagonist aka enemies are easily defeated. Some scenes are very childish. Though I won't recommend it for kids for its dark & violence aspects. It's kind of confusing what the target audience for this movie is. If it is for kids, it's too dark & violence. If it's for adults, it's to much childish fantasy.

Tacky tech? The flaming fire surrounded the skull reminded me of BBQ pit or a hot dog stand. The fiery horse looks like carrousel horsy on fire.

Acting? IMHO, Nicolas Cage is a bit too old fashion for this. I mean if the movie means to be hilarious, use Jim Carey instead! Or if it meant to be a dark thriller, use Brad Pitt or any other serious actor who can make a deep impact!

This movie is very classic, sweet, heart warming and romantic. The England sceneries in this movie are spectacularly beautiful, packed with pretty flowers, calm lake, the mountains, the trees, the winds, the wide green fields, the birds & other natural sounds.

Though this is a classic biography film, but the story line is not monotonous at all because there are flash back tricks. Renee played extremely well! She is able to get the audience interested & curious to follow the story till the end.
