Has anybody seen this movie. I woke up during the middle of the night and this movie was playing on a Starz channel. I never knew the one with Denzel was a remake.

It looked more like French Connection than the 2004 Tony Scott movie.


quote:The "despite being badly wounded" part had Scott Glenn limping around really badly from scene to scene for the whole part I saw. The way he was dragging himself around was kind of funny, and I'm pretty sure there was another 30 minutes left. I didn't stay awake long enough to se the very end.
A former CIA agent, John Creasy, is hired as a bodyguard for a girl in Italy, who becomes the daughter he never had. When she is abducted, Creasy's fiery rage is unleashed, and despite being badly wounded, embarks on a bloody revenge spree.

The Denzell version is one of my favorite movies. LOVE it.

Saw this on TV about a year after seeing the 2004 film. This one is a clear case of the remake being far superior to the original.
I remember a bit from the soundtrack was used in Die Hard - when McClane and his wife meet Powell at the end.
