Harrison Ford's Film career went off with a BANG, with the likes of: Star Wars, Blade Runner my favourite the Indiana Jones films. The only recent decent film has been the Fugitive. And that is why i think he choose this script as it runs along the same lines. He plays Jack Stanfield a I.T expert at a Bank, and his family are held hostage untill he helps them pull off a heist for $100 million. Once again Paul Bettany (Da Vinci Code ) plays the villain as the Crime mastermind. I bought this from the shops with High hopes, but was let down Slightly with the whole film and wished i picked it up cheap on E-Bay instead of paying full price. Do not get me wrong, its worth a watch but a bet you will sell it on which is no bad thing.
Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) is an average family man in Seattle who heads up the hi-tech security team at his local bank. But following a seemingly trivial case of identity theft, Jack's life is turned upside-down when he discovers that his wife (Virginia Madsen) and two kids have been kidnapped. The ransom? A mere $100 million, which the kidnappers, led by Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), want Jack to obtain for them via his expert computer skills. Initially compliant, Jack is soon irked by Cox and his cronies to the point where he decides to risk everything to get his family back and bring the bad guys to justice...
I bought Firewall on EBAY for 99p!! I love action films and this is a good one, plenty of 'not sure whats going to happen next' moments with the on going sweaty palms! All actors play well even if it is a bit 'Yankeefied'. Harrison is yet again a good al family man, who rescues his good al family, poor dear after all he is getting on, but 10/10 for his effort. X
Harrison Ford is a great actor and this film shows him in an upto date role in the computer world. He is aging a little now and his family were very young but he gets away with it. Suspense great, action all there. I fully enjoyed the film.
I PURCHASED THIS DVD FOR MY HUSBAND, HE IS A DVD FANATIC, AND HAS MANY DVD'S IN HIS COLLECTION (ALL ACTION DVD'S) THE REASON I BOUGHT IT FROM EBAY WAS THE PRICE, THE SHOPS CHARGE WAY OVER THE TOP FOR DVD'S AND HE USUALLY ONLY WATCHES THEM ONCE, THEN THEY COLLECT DUST ON HIS DVD RACK, THE DVD IS A GOOD ONE (SO HE TELLS ME), AND WELL WORTH THE MONEY, THE QUALITY IS GOOD AND THE PRICE GOOD ALSO, WE WILL BE BUYING MORE IN THE FUTURE I AM SURE OF THAT,
An exciting film. A normal family will never have this sort of experiance but can certainly identify with the pressure that some aspects of life place on them. It gives licence to a certain paranoia. Who and what do you trust? Has the family got the trust in each other to stand the pressure that can happen.
