GOOD topic... Subject matter weighs very heavily. A lot fo the power in Man on Fire was the fear that the little girl was dead. on top of that, the fear that something bad had happened, the kinds of things no little kid should ever have to endure.
Suggestion is often more powerful than showing. The end of se7en would have been cheesy if they had shown what was in thie box, but was SO much more effective just seeing the look of horror on Morgan Freeman's face, and Brad Pitt's breakdown.
