In this episode of the show we are observing the ninth anniversary of Tony Scott's untimely passing by talking about perhaps one of his most mature, layered and complete films, Man on Fire. Over the course of our discussion, we delve deep into the fabric of the story, examine Scott's new-found stylized aesthetic, marvel over the amazing chemistry between Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning, and most importantly attempt to elevate the film well above its label of a revenge thriller. Join us and find out what makes this movie so special and what made Tony Scott's filmmaking so unique, singular and unabashedly compelling.

Update: The Tony Scott Retrospective mentioned in the episode is now available through our Patreon (patreon.com/uncutgemspod)!
