				"A man can be an artist ... 
				in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. 
				Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece." – 
				Rayburn 
				Why watch this? 
				 Mr. Washington excels as a man, with special skills, that 
				drug dealers 
				should not have messed with. 
				Plot Summary: 
				John Creasy, a burnt-out former CIA operative, reluctantly takes 
				a job as a bodyguard for a young girl named Pita in Mexico City. 
				He initially struggles with his past and alcoholism, but a bond 
				slowly develops between him and Pita, bringing a sense of 
				purpose back into his life. However, their connection is 
				brutally severed when Pita is kidnapped in a violent incident 
				that leaves Creasy gravely wounded, prompting him to seek 
				vengeance against those responsible. Dad's Preview: 
				Denzel, one of this generation's great actors and leading men, easily transitioned into action flicks. He portrays 
				John Creasy, a specialist with "security" skills who is hired as a bodyguard for a young girl, Lupita, living in Mexico City. 
				He's just warming up to her, when she is kidnapped. The remainder 
				of the film is Creasy's rescue mission. He is a one-man 
				destroyer, dishing out brutal interrogations and 
				bloody justice without prejudice. Which, by the way,
				
				IS
				AWESOME!
