Worst movie I have seen in a while.
Don't let the somewhat all-star cast in this movie fool you intothinking it's any good. Not that it's all their fault. I believe mostof the blame needs to be placed on the awful writing and directing. Notonce during this movie did I feel any empathy for any of the actors andgood lord the action was so predictable. The title is evenunimaginative and pretty meaningless. Bettany, although great in otherroles, has a hard time convincing me he could kill someone. I have ahard time believing Ford gave a crap about this movie, when he can'teven convey that he cares about his wife or family. I love the linewhere he's trying to find his family and says "I'm going to find mydog". The humor is flat and timing is awkward.Please don't waste your time with this horrible film.

Firewall
This review is from: Firewall (Widescreen Edition) (DVD) Fun and a decent action film, but a bit too predictable if you are looking for suspense.

The Best!
This movie is great! I've seen it 11 times! (I'm NOT joking!) It's awesome!Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) is a banker. Then one day, Jack, his wife (Virginia Madsen), and his kids are held kidnapped in their own home. Bill Cox (Paul Bettany) is the head bad guy. He tells them that if Jack helps him break into the bank's security and if Jack gives Bill and his friends money, he'll let Jack and his family go. I don't know if all of the computer stuff and hacking into bank accounts is really possible, (the writer of the story says it is, but who knows) but I think it's believable. It also has good actors in it. Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany, Virginia Madsen, Alan Arkin, Robert Patrick, Mary Lynn Rajskub, etc.Definately watch this movie!

Harrison Ford is Back!
When I first saw this, the very enjoyable American No 1 box office smash Firewall, I couldn't help but notice that it was an amalgamation of other Harrison Ford films - which, don't get me wrong, is no bad thing. His name's Jack, a different Jack from the one he played in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, and there's hostages like in Air Force One, chases like in The Fugitive and and a finale/fight scene scene reminicent of the one in Witness. But it's also a very good film in it's own right. It's no Air Force One, it has to be said, but the good thing it's no Hollywood Homocide either, which is one reason to cheer.I won't bother summarising the plot because you've already read the Amazon review, so all I can say is buy it, rent it, lend it anything - just see it because it's worth it! Yes it is formulaic but who minds that? Harrison has done some flops in the last few years starting with Six Days, Seven Nights and ending with K9: The Widowmaker and the aforementioned Hollywood Homocide, which was mediocre in the extreme. So now Harrison gives us what we expect and, more importantly, what we want to watch. And Chloe from 24 is also in it and as Harrison's name is Jack who's family have been kidnapped it does seem like 24. And, like Hostage was to pre-Die Hard 4.0 Bruce Willis, Firewall is a familiar thriller until we get the real deal - the fourth Indiana Jones!And amid all the action, one thing is certain - Harrison Ford is back!

Thirteen in a dozen thriller
The lead security specialist at a bank is forced into robbing the bankhe works for: his family is held hostage and the ruthless villainsthreaten to kill everyone.Now.. This could be the base for a very worthy thriller. There's been anumber of films around this topic that do work out after all. All addedtogether there are the standard parts for a thriller: a villain thatwants a lot of money/power/whatever, a victim that is to help him, anda number of victims that are used to make the other victim help thevillain. Then there is the bits where the villains don't get what theywant and threaten some more, the bits where the unwilling workingvictim finds a way to work against the villain and so on.But there you have it. All the parts, added together, make for a normalthirteen in a dozen thriller that has a number of things in it that areso damn odd that it doesn't work out. It's a shame. It wasn't playedout half bad and it wasn't irritating either, but it wasn't good, itwasn't fully enjoyable.Add to that the fact that the things they do to computers are justutterly ludicrous. I, as a software designer, cannot handle that. Notat all.Too damn bad. 4 out of 10 standard mistakes.

AN INTEREST MOVIE.
THIS MOVIE IS ALL ABOUT FINDING A WAY OUT. IF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE TRAP IN A TERRIBLE SITUATION, HOW CAN YOU GET OUT OF IT WITH YOUR FAMILY? IT IS A VERY LOVELY MOVIE AND I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. YOU WILL ENJOY IT.
James Hitchcock (28 April 2012)
Originality must be in short supply in Hollywood
Although I have always regarded Harrison Ford and Michael Douglas asbeing dissimilar in terms of their acting style, Douglas being more theflamboyant of the two and Ford the more reserved, I was recently struckby a number of parallels between their respective careers. Theseprobably originate from the fact that, at any given time, certain typesof film will be more in vogue than others, so two male stars who arenear-contemporaries of one another (Ford is two years older thenDouglas) are likely to be offered similar roles.Both came to fame in the early eighties as the hero of action-adventuremovies, Ford in the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" franchises, Douglasin "Romancing the Stone" and its sequel, "The Jewel of the Nile". Laterin the decade, both made films set against a background of highfinance, "Working Girl" and "Wall Street". Both have played the heroesof cop thrillers ("Witness" and "The Fugitive" as against "Black Rain"and "Basic Instinct") and unfaithful husbands (in "Fatal Attraction"and "What Lies Beneath"). In the mid-nineties both played fictionalAmerican Presidents, Douglas in "The American President" and Ford in"Air Force One". And in the 2000s they have both made thrillers with avery similar plot, "Don't Say a Word" and "Firewall"."Firewall" is a thriller of a type which dates back at least as far asHitchcock's original "The Man who Knew Too Much" from the thirties butwhich has become very fashionable in recent years. Besides "Don't Say aWord", other recent examples include "Trapped" and "Red Eye". The basicpremise is that the villains kidnap or make threats against a member ofthe hero's family in order to force the hero to assist them in somenefarious scheme. The villains usually want the hero to play someactive part in their criminal enterprise rather than simply to pay aransom (although "Trapped" is an exception in this respect).Like "Trapped", "Firewall" is ostensibly set in America's PacificNorth-West but was actually filmed, presumably for tax or financialreasons, in British Columbia which has similar scenery. (The same isalso true of other recent films, such as "Double Jeopardy"). There isno real reason why these films could not actually be set in Canada, butit would appear that American audiences are not interested in watchingfilms about foreigners, even about their neighbours across theforty-ninth parallel.Like Douglas in "Don't Say a Word", Ford plays a professional man inlate middle age, married to an attractive wife about two decadesyounger than him and with a young family. Douglas's character is amedical man (as was the character played by Stuart Townsend in"Trapped"); Ford's character, Jack Stanfield, is a computer expertemployed by a Seattle-based banking corporation as its head of computersecurity. (A "firewall", in computer jargon, is a logical barrierdesigned to prevent unauthorised or unwanted communications betweensections of a computer network; such devices do not play any major partin the plot, but someone obviously thought it made animpressive-sounding title).Ford is not, perhaps, the most emotionally demonstrative of actors, buthe is able to convey a sense of solidity and inner decency which makehim valuable as the hero of crime thrillers, and Stanfield is a typicalFord hero. "Firewall", however, is one of his weaker thrillers, weakerthan the likes of "Presumed Innocent" or "Patriot Games" and certainlynot in the same class as "Witness" or "The Fugitive". Films of thistype have become over-familiar in recent years, and "Firewall" recyclesall the standard clichés- the happy, solidly middle-class family whoselife is suddenly disrupted, the fight and chase sequences, theefficient, disciplined and ruthless villains. (They are so ruthlessthat their leader is capable of shooting one of his men dead for aminor failure on his part, and so well-disciplined that the others donot turn a hair at this murder). The essential premise is thatStanfield and his family are held hostage by a gang of criminals whowant him to use his expertise to transfer large sums of money intoaccounts controlled by them; I don't need to set out any more of theplot as those familiar with the modern thriller will be able to workout the details for themselves.Some elements even seem to have been borrowed, consciously orsubconsciously, from similar thrillers. "Firewall" shares with"Trapped" not only its geographical location but also the plot deviceof a child with a potentially life-threatening illness. It shares with"Don't Say a Word" an Englishman as the leader of the villains (SeanBean in the earlier film, Paul Bettany here. Although there was afashion for French villains in the wake of the Iraq war, Britain nowseems to have regained its Least Favoured Nation status among Americanfilm-makers). When thrillers start borrowing from one another not onlythe broad outlines of the plot but even minor details, it is a suresign that originality must be in short supply in Hollywood. 5/10

Decent Harrison Ford Movie
First off, I have to say that I don't understand all these people whosay that Harrison Ford is too old to play the hero. In this movie hemay have played the hero father/husband but it was done in such a wayas to show him as struggling in the fight scenes and not beinginvincible. The movie overall was decent enough, the low points to meare the kid who played Ford's son (very annoying) and the pacing whichat times had the audience on the edge of a nap. The story itself mayhave been mostly rehashed former movie plots but was done in an updatedway to incorporate technology. The very end of the movie was prettycheesy, the ultimate movie ending shot (see the movie and you will seewhat I mean). I would recommend this movie for a decent 2 hour movie.

Harrison Ford gets inside the computer firewall, exciting thriller.
My grandson wanted to see "Firewall", he thought it was about a bigfire!Harrison Ford is starting to look his age, but is still good as JackStanfield, super smart security chief for a regional bank. He takescare of the computer security and with his guys monitors and stopsthose who try to hack in. But his bank is being bought and merged, andthat creates some transitional uncertainty.Paul Bettany, a Brit, plays an American, Bill Cox, who appears to be alegitimate business man, but we quickly find out all is not as itappears. Virginia Madsen is good as Jack's wife Beth Stanfield andmother of a young son and a teen daughter. By all appearances Jack andBeth and their family are happy in their nice home, designed byArchitect Beth, on a small lake near Seattle.The movie is exciting with a number of twists as Jack tries both tosave his family and to prevent crooks from stealing from the bank. SPOILERS. Bill Cox, with his native Brit accent now, turns out to bethe mastermind behind a heist of $100Million total. Jack returns hometo find him and several henchmen holding his family hostage. Theirrequest, get behind the firewall and from the bank's 10 biggestaccounts, transfer $10Million from each to an account and Jack's familywill be safe. Jack and the family fight back, Jack eventually gets theupper hand, several of the crooks end up dead, the final chase happensas the GPS on the family dog's collar is followed via laptop. Jackmanages to hack again, this time to drain the crooks' account, andreclaim all the money, and a final fight between Jack and Cox resultsin Cox's death, pickax in his back!

Bank Holdup
Harrison Ford, (Jack Stanfield) played the role as a big executive atan International Bank and lived in a beautiful home designed by hiswife, Beth Stanfield, ( Virginia Madsen) They have two children, ayoung boy and a teenage girl and they all get along like a typicalfamily. One day their lives changes when some very experienced hackersmanaged to break into their home and set up shop, even with their ownTV dinners and high class computer equipment. It does not become longwhen this invasion of their home begins to wear everyone down and thatis when the drama increases. There is a familiar face in this film whoappeared in the "24" TV series and she is also a secretary to JackStanfield at the bank. This is a different type of bank robbery withhigh class computer experts going crazy. Enjoy.

Quite Good
I went and saw it tonight, I really liked it. I feel there was morethey could have done, the ending was rather... lame for an ending.I like these action movies but I felt this one was a little too violentI wouldn't recommend it for kids 10-11 and under (there are rathervivid displays of blood.) Such as a man being stabbed with a pick axand another being hit with a blender three times in which between thefirst two hits you see the blood on his face.But overall the movie was great and was worth my $5.25, and am planningon going and seeing it again.But if you are concerned about your young chilren seeing the blood andgore, I recommend seeing it yourself first to decide.

Gotta Save that Pesky Family................AGAIN.
In "PATRIOT GAMES" (1992) Ford is.... the "everyman" good guy, whosaves his family from the ruthless IRA. Family re-unites.In "AIR FORCE ONE" (1997) Ford is.... the "everyman" good guy, whosaves his family from cold-blooded Russian terrorists. Familyre-unites.In "FIREWALL" (2006) Ford is.... The "everyman" good guy, who's perfectfamily are kidnapped by a bad man.... good guy kills bad man at the endof the movie. Family re-unites.Now, I maybe onto something here, and call me cynical, but there seemsto be a pattern forming. Just when have we seen this process before?This movie perfectly demonstrates exactly everything wrong with modernday Hollywood. Washed-up, has-been actor, lack of experience of thetopic of the movie and the recycling of old movie B.S. plots andclichés.If you're really a fan of - Mr. Harrison "GOTTA SAVE MY FAMILY YETAGAIN!" Ford, and want to actually sit through this chor of a movie,rent it (with someone else's money) first, or if you're desperate topurchase it, wait until you can find it in the garbage bins out back atthe local Wal-Mart / Costco / Target store/s. As it is right now, itain't worth $HIT.Harrison Ford.....your career is OVER. The sentence is BOX-OFFICEDEATH.Leading man no more.

Worth watching
This movie started out like many action/hostage movies I've seen, but as it progressed, there were some original situations. I like the 'saved by the dog' twist that comes in an unexpected way. Overall, this is worth watching though some might be reminded of other suspense flicks they've seen with a similar plot. Keep watching...there are some unique parts.Chrissy K. McVay - Author

Disappointing, even though my expectations were not overly high
If you're a die-hard Harrison Ford fan, you may be entertained by thismovie. I found it hard to pay attention to what little was going onplot-wise and instead was distracted by the incessant rain, thegorgeous house built on an ocean cliff, and wondering why Ford'sassistant was paid so poorly that she drove a wreck and lived in adump. Moreover, since she was paid so poorly (and he had justunceremoniously fired her) why did she risk life and limb to help him?The film had very little humour, minimal suspense and one nasty fightscene at the end. The final shot was cheesy to the max. Harrison, youcan do better than this.

Average
Firewall is an average flick, a welcome return I must admit though foraction star Harrison Ford. Although he does seem a bit too old to bebelievable as a father of teenagers (he looks to be in his 60s which heis), it's nice to see the "Indiana Jones-esquire" style of acting. Andin fact, in the stunt-intensive parts of the movie (which aren't thatmuch), he is believable in his actions. The weak part of the this movieand the reason I must give it a 6 out of 10 is that the script to beginwith is VERY average - this movie doesn't have the epic-scopes of AirForce One or Indiana Jones. However, that said, this movie is also forsure a precursor to the supposedly upcoming Indiana Jones IV, provingagain that Harrison Ford, at 64, can still do a stunt-intensive movie.And I am an eagerly awaiting fan!

Best line
Best line of the movie:As a fan of 24, I love it when Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub)-- whois so often called on to risk everything to get Jack Bauer out of atight spot ("Chloe, you're the only one I can trust.") -- gets to getin her boss's face and say "Screw you, Jack." She really puts somefeeling into it.If Chloe can learn a few more facial expressions, she's good for awhole series of her own. "The Computer-ist." Using technology to savethe day for powerful men who can't seem to keep themselves out of bigtrouble.

Take Down this Wall
Let me start with this personal fact, I think Harrison Ford is a modern day Jimmy Stewart. He can do comedy,drama, action and mystery. Now the bad news, Ford is in the DVD Firewall and it acts like too many other films and TV shows. Ford plays IT person Jack Stanfield. Paul Bethany (from Master and Commander, A Beautiful Mind) plays a cold as ice criminal mastermind who kidnapped Stanfield's family. The film sems almost like Desperate Hours with Bogart or the remake with Anthony Hopkins. Bethany starts to pressure Jack to heist 100 million from the computer design he created. Bethany is great as the icey cold mastermind, not as good as he was in Davinci Code. Bethany's character harrassas Stanfield's wife (Sideways's Virginia Madsen) and his family. This is similar to Capr Fear with Gregory Peck or the remake with Nick Nolte. Madsen preformance seem to assail fear in every scream, fear in all her action and still it seem a poor man's choice in her acting.To get the money, he usea gizmos (like an IPOD and plastic tubing) as if MacGuvyer would. Note, I like Ford as Indiana Jones, But Richard Dean Anderson was more suited to do these things Ford does in this film (Note Box set of MacGuvyer Season six is out!-better to get that , rathefr than this film !)He does what asked and the family is still kidnapped, so Ford goes on a one desparation to save his family. Just like Warren Beauty's Dollars, Desparate Hours or in Ford's own Franic (rent that instead of this if yoiu want a Harrison Ford Movie).Ford tries to hold this film together, but fails badly...The plot folds in the action. It seem like twice told tales...I give it 3 stars-One for BEthany, one for Ford and One because I got this as a gift! Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD

Ford-By-Numbers...
Harrison Ford has always been and is still today, one of our mostdurable and dependable actors. I mean, who doesn't love the guy? He'sbeen Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan and even managed to make peopleforget that David Janssen ever played Dr. Richard Kimble.So it really pains me to say that watching FIREWALL, his latest film, Iwas left open-mouthed...because I was yawning.Yes, even past sixty, the man's still got it...or at least a lot moreof it than people give him credit for. Yes, he can still do the actionhero stuff for the most part. But if he had to do a movie just to provethat to himself, or to us, did it have to be something that plays likea "Greatest Hits Collection" of his best moments, from the past decadeor so of his other movies? He deserved better, this cast deservedbetter, but most of all WE deserved better. As the IT security chief ofa large bank and a doting family man (surprise, surprise), Ford playsJack Stanfield like a Jack Ryan clone without the government securityclearance. As his wife, Virginia Madsen also proves that she is anactress who needs to be working a whole lot more, and I don't meanlending support in a piece of crap like this.Robert Forster, Alan Arkin and Robert Patrick are in it mostly to pumpup the marquee value, but the biggest shock of all is seeing Mary LynnRajskub as Janet, Jack's steadfast executive secretary, who is there,of course, to pull Jack's fat out of the fire in the third act. How'sTHAT for lazy writing and casting? Every time she said his name, thenext shot I expected to see was a close-up of Kiefer Sutherland'sintense face, not Harrison Ford's. And that was the biggest gaffe ofall. Every time you see them together, it takes you right out of themovie.As for Paul Bettany? Well, at least now he can say he's done the"Alan-Rickman-in-DIE-HARD" kind of thing, so he can move on to betterand more complex roles.To sum it up, I have seen a lot more poorly made, technically deficientmovies than FIREWALL. A LOT. But some of those were three times moreentertaining than this one.I never thought I'd be able to say that Harrison would make a film thatmakes "Hollywood Homicide" seem like a contemporary classic. But now Ican.

Better than expected
Harrison Ford plays a man in charge of security for a large bank in Seattle. His family is kidnapped so that he will cooperate and find a way past the security for the thieves to steal $100 million dollars. Ford's character needs to find a way to rescue his family and keep the thieves from getting the money. This movie was better than I expected it to be. There are problems, especially with the underdevelopment of most of the characters in the film, but if you can overlook the obvious flaws, the movie builds some real tension in various scenes. There are no stellar performances here. Ford can sleepwalk through a role like this because he's done it so many times. Paul Bettany is good as the head bad guy. Everyone else is given so little to do they can't give great performances.You have to look past a script that is weak structurally, but if you can do that, Firewall is a decent movie.
