Netflix Top 100 - 100. Firewall (2006)



A typical Harrison Ford movie thriller but one that received very little publicity or acclaim. This movie is "not that bad". I was expecting a lot less from it but it turned out to be much better other so called "thriller" movies.

Harrison Ford plays a bank executive who is basically forced by a criminal(Paul Bettany) to rob the bank in which he just developed an elaborate security system. The crooks thinking they have leverage on Ford, threaten his wife and family, but it turns out he is too smart for even them.

There are a couple of odd twists and turns in this movied, namely I found it to be entertaining. Despite the fact that it is directed by "acclaimed" British director Richard Lorraine who made the movie "Wimbledon". This movie is so much better even without Kirsten Dunst in little white shorts. Costars Virginia Madsen, Alan Arkin,Robert Patrick, and Robert Forester. Check it out.
