Rayburn: A man can be an artist..in anything.. food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasy's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.

Another one of the movie stars Denzel washington that I like. A story about a former Cia agent, a former assasin that swears to vengeance on those who commit unspeakable act against the family where he was hired to protect the family.

The story begins many incidents of kidnappings in Mexico that hit the high society and squeeze them with ransom in exchange for the liberation of one family were kidnapped. There is one kidnapping every 60 minutes in Latin America. 70 % of the victims do not survive. In such conditions cause many parents hire bodyguards for their children. John Creasy, a former CIA agent, who has given up on life, back into the full life of crime.

Mexican businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony) with his lawyer Jordan Kalfus (Mickey Rourke), with the approval of his wife, Lisa (Radha Mitchell), they need to hire bodyguards for their daughter who was nine Lupita "Pita" Ramos (Dakota Fanning). Kalfus recommends talking to Paul Rayburn (Christopher Walken), a former CIA agent who now runs a security company executive. Rayburn then recommend his old CIA friend John Creasy (Denzel Washington).

Ramos impressed with Creasy resume, which includes a variety of activities counter and counter-terrorism. But Creasy can overcome them and still remain alive. Creasy was not interested in the work of the guards and even a little unhappy with the children, but he needs a job.

Coldness, impatience, despair and runaway Creasy to drink alcohol as an escape and entertainers of his heavy live, slowly began to fade as he found himself starting to like the kid. He replaces the role of parents, provide advice and guidance in the swimming competition. He helped overcome her fear of the sound of the gun, turning it into a desire to move after hearing the sound. Pita finally emerged as the first prize in the competition. As a token of gratitude and appreciation and friendship given Creasy, Pita gives Creasy emblem of St. Jude, as a protector and savior, negating all the obstacles and barriers, which her bought with her own money. Creasy felt very grateful for the attention of Pita.

However, subsequent events occurred. Shortly after delivering Pita for piano audition, Creasy saw a suspicious vehicle through the driver and two police cars blocking the surrounding streets. To warn Pita, Creasy pull out his gun and fired shots into the air, making Pita surprised and fled.

During the subsequent shootout, four of the attackers were shot, including two corrupt police officers. but Creasy also severely injured and unconscious, allowing the surviving kidnappers to kidnap Pita.

In a press statement to the public local police chief blamed Creasy who killed two police officers while Creasy himself lying unconscious in the hospital. A journalist, Mariana Guerrero (Rachel Ticotin) found irregularities that the policemen who died were supposed to be off duty, but were at the scene complete with police uniform and driving a patrol car. He then contacted the Federal Police Minister, Miguel Manzano (Giancarlo Giannini), which states that the police who died was a corrupt cop. They decided to talk to Creasy after he recovers.

Sanchez demanded a ransom of ten million dollars in exchange for Pita. Although Ramos instructed to come alone, but Fuentes counseled to participate Ramos to place put ransom. Redemption goes bad, kidnappers ambushed, Ramos and Fuentes were forced to flee. Sanchez was angry because his nephew was killed in the attack, and he blamed this on Ramos does not comply with his instructions. He said that instead of Pita will be lost forever.

Rayburn helps Creasy escape to a safe house where he can recover from his injuries. After Creasy well, he returned to the Pita house and promised Lisa that he will kill all the people involved in, or benefit from, the abduction.

With the help of Guerrero and Manzano, Creasy began to seek out and hunt one by one who was involved in the kidnapping without exception. Starting from the corrupt police who are members of the crime syndicate called La Hermandad (Spanish for "Brotherhood").
