Firewall

Computer security specialist Jack Stanfield works for the Seattle-based Landrock Pacific Bank. A trusted top-ranking executive, he has built his career and reputation on designing the most effective anti-theft computer systems in the industry.

When I see Harrison Ford play so many various roles from Star Wars to Patriot Games to What Lies Beneath,
I wonder why he feels that he belongs in the same tired role we've seen him in half a dozen times. I really did enjoy this movie for what it was, but there was absolutely nothing outstanding about it. It's the typical "Harrison Ford's family gets in trouble, he saves them, everything's ok" formula he's done so many times. It's just not done particularly well here. I did enjoy how he got back at the terrorists though. It's an aspect of the movie that will be very satisfying to audiences.

Typical language and violence that you'd expect from a PG-13 thriller. No sexual content or nudity.

Harrison Ford has another action movie to add to the long list. It's unfortunate, however, that given his history and influence in Hollywood that he can't be a part of something a bit more memorable.

3.5 out of 5
