Firewall

Pros: Great script and acting; taut direction

Cons: A bit too violent for younger viewers

The Bottom Line: The rare thriller that doesn't force its characterization or plot points

Review: A terrible movie used to be described with the phrase, "It wasn’t released, it escaped." Ironically, I’m inclined to use that sentence to describe the superb thriller Firewall. An intelligent thriller –- how did that one get out of Hollywood? ...

Pros: the entire movie

Cons: maybe the plot

Review: This is a five star movie. Beginning to end I truly enjoyed watching this one. The plot is a bit confusing, but I understood what was going on. If you like suspense/thrillers this movie is for ...

Pros: Cast, music, keeps you on the edge of your seat...

Cons: ... a few plot and continuity problems...

The Bottom Line: As techno-thrillers go, this is a good one.

Review: I’d been waiting for Firewall to come out or some time, partly because ~I haven’t seen Harrison Ford in anything for ages, partly because Paul Bettany is one of the best actors around at the moment, and partly to see if someone could ...

Pros: Fast-paced thriller with lots of action. Cute dog.

Cons: Bratty kids.

The Bottom Line: This computer geek enjoyed this techno-thriller.

Review: I enjoy a well thought out, intelligent techno-thriller. You know the kind of movie I'm talking about - where modern technology is the weapon of choice for the bad guys. When done well, you are treated to an exciting thriller, one where the bad guys ...

Pros: Its a good Hollywood Action Thriller with good acting by Harrison Ford.

Cons: Its a standard Hollywood Action Thriller with Harrison Ford in his usual role.

The Bottom Line: Predictable Hollywood action thriller, but a pretty good one that was fun to watch.

Review: I mean seriously, if you are going to kidnap a guy's family and try to get him to rob a bank for you, pick someone who hasn't been Jack Ryan, Indiana Jones, Han Solo AND the President of the United States. Although Harrison Ford continues to play ...

Pros: Filled with natural tension (no cheap tricks), Harrison's and Bettany's performances, good directing

Cons: It's not an original storyline, a bit overcomplex in the frameup plot, last scene

The Bottom Line: Rottentomatoes does not like it, but I did (and so did my wife)

Review: I first met Harrison Ford a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. For me, that means the 70's... Yes, that makes me old, but then so is Harrison. Old he may be (as Yoda would say), but has it still he does. Firewall was an exciting film, Harrison ...

Pros: I did sit on the edge of my seat for at least half the time

Cons: Too many cliches. The story is too familiar.

Review: Kudos to Harrison Ford - great performance. And I did sit on the edge of my sit for a good half of the movie. But that's where positive stops and negative begins. First, I think Harrison has been down this road too often: save his family from ...

Pros: Entertaining movie with good cast.

Cons: Not the most original or believable.

The Bottom Line: Firewall had some small problems but was still a very entertaining movie. Harrison Ford fans will probably enjoy it.

Review: Harrison Ford has made many movies during his career that have ended up being very popular. I have seen and enjoyed most of them and tend to see his new movies as soon as I can. I’ve been wanting to see Firewall since I first saw the ...

Pros: Let me think...

Cons: Plot holes, tech errors, the trailer!

The Bottom Line: Do not watch the trailer before seeing this movie!

Review: Have you seen the trailer for Firewall? If so, then you don’t need to see the movie because the trailer shows everything. It shows the entire plot. It reveals all but one plot twist. It even shows the best parts of the last five minutes ...

Pros: Ford, Paul Bettany. Plot is pretty clever.

Cons: Rusty the dog; clever plot gets ramrodded by big, dumb Hollywood finish

The Bottom Line: Harrison Ford is back to turn the regulation on Paul Bettany's devious regulator in Richard Loncraine's FIREWALL, a thriller that starts off smoothly but quietly self destructs

Review: Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) has got it made. The security designer of a high tech, Seattle based bank, he basks in all the trappings of a conventional, American as apple pie Harrison Ford style hero: bright, devoted wife Beth (Virginia Madsen); two ...
