I went with Man On Fire but both films are great...
Taken was more "bad ass", but Man on Fire had more feeling, compassion and "love" to it...
The Chemistry between Peeta and Creasy (I can compare it to Leon and Natalie Portman in Professional) is arguably one of the most genuine and "sweet" I' ve ever seen...you see Creasy's transformation from a hard core cynic who really doesn't "give a fu*k"...to having feelings for Peeta and learning to "live again" to then reverting back to do what he's good at...killing people.
And Man on Fire made me tear up a bit...
all in all, I love both films because there is no moral ambiguity behind it...it's about really bad people who need to get fu*king killed.
