Firewall

Jack Stanfield is a successful security specialist who has designed a highly complicated security system for Landrock Pacific Bank. He lives with his wife and two children in New York.

When an eager young businessman shows interest in the system, Jack thinks he's making the deal of a lifetime...but it turns out that the businessman is really a criminal mastermind named Bill Cox who is set on stealing millions of dollars from LPB. Holding Jack and his family hostage, he instructs Jack to give in to his every demand or the consequences will be severe.

For several days, Cox dictates Jack's every move. He has him under audio and video surveillance at his office and has set one of his goons on him to make sure he doesn't make any 'detours' between work and home. Bill and his team are holed up in the Stanfield's home and keeping them under lock and key.

Looking to protect his family, Jack cooperates with Cox, but every move he makes further incriminates him and every moment that passes brings him and his family closer to almost inevitable demise.

When Jack turns the tables on Cox, the stakes are higher than ever and the Stanfield family is in extreme danger...will he succeed?

Of course he will...he's played by Harrison Ford. Ford always wins. Except in 'What Lies Beneath'...

Overall, it was a very good film. Obviously it was very high-energy and very suspensful, which seems to be a specialty of Harrison Ford. The script was well-written and the storyline was interesting, which made up for the many holes in the plot. The fighting choreography was AWESOME and I liked the villain. The camera work was unremarkable but it wasn't bad.

I liked it...I'd suggest seeing on the big screen.

4 and a half stars.
