There are lots to consider when deciding what film to watch on a Friday night, but this task is made a lot easier when a star-studded cast is involved.
Films and TV shows leave Netflix all the time, and this will again be the case during September 2022.
But when the line-up includes Hollywood icons, it can be a race to check out all the hit movies before they get the boot.
To make sure you don’t miss out on any Oscar-worthy performances, we have compiled a list of the top five star-studded movies leaving Netflix this month.
Man on Fire (2004)
Man on Fire is a 2004 thriller directed by Tony Scott, from a screenplay written by Brian Helgeland.
The film stars Denzel Washington as John Creasy, a despondent, alcoholic former CIA operative who accepts a job as a bodyguard from an old friend Paul Rayburn, played by Christopher Walken.
Due to the high rate of kidnappings in Mexico City for ransom money, businessman Samuel Ramos ( Marc Anhony ) hires Creasy to guard his nine-year-old daughter Pita ( Dakota Fanning ).
Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman, played by Jesús Ochoa, kidnaps her.
