Yeah, I watched the rest of Man on Fire last night, I hate endings like that, he could have run away, risk getting shot, I mean (I think I remember this, but I smoked up again before watching it haha) he just let the kinappers take him, for the release of the girl. Personally when the girl started running to her Mom, I'd have told them to start driving off (in case the people shot at them) and just tried to run to the car, him getting shot wouldn't be too bad, as he all ready took a round to the chest (IIRC) and didn't do anything about it.

Sad ending, but he had a smile on his face as he closed his eyes, knowing the girl was ok
