Firewall

Pros: Entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Not the most original or believable.

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: Cast, music, keeps you on the edge of your seat...
Cons: ... a few plot and continuity problems...

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: a nice concept, Mary Lynn Rajskub
Cons: miscast lead roles, some slow parts

Harrison Ford stars in Firewall the latest bank robbing movie with a high-priced film star at its center. Of course there are some twists and turns that make this one slightly different, but the plot really boils down to that premise. Ford plays ...

Pros: Let me think...
Cons: Plot holes, tech errors, the trailer!

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: Paul Bettany's performance
Cons: everything else

Firewall should be called Firestone because you can clearly see the tread. Don't be surprised if Harrison Ford's latest vehicle flips over at least a dozen times. That's to be expected of a premise with this kind of wear and pumped up only halfway. On ...

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

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.

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: The data center was cool.
Cons: Far too formulaic; too much product placement; implausible.

I think we all loved (or love) Harrison Ford as the swashbuckling, laser gun tooting space pilot in Star Wars, and the action adventure explorer in the Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones movies starting with The Raiders of The Lost Ark. Back then—mid ‘70’ ...

Pros: Somewhat entertaining and suspenseful
Cons: Dull, bad plot/script, nothing special

Harrison Ford could have made Firewall in his sleep, and at times it feels like he did. Firewall is the most generic of high tech kidnapping thrillers and is not even interesting enough to make it a guilty-pleasure bad movie worth watching. It is very ...

Pros: Virginia Madsen, Mary Lynn Rajskub, the dog . . . .
Cons: Illogical plot. By-the-numbers screenplay. Harrison Ford becoming another Great Stone Face. Mickey Mouse score.

Despite the charge of a case excessive violence here (our films aiming at blockbusterdom can never have enough), or of the cliched plot, there (see below), a majority of my fellow Epinionators have given FIREWALL, Harrison Ford's new vehicle, Four Stars ...

Pros: Ford, Paul Bettany. Plot is pretty clever.
Cons: Rusty the dog; clever plot gets ramrodded by big, dumb Hollywood finish

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 ...

Pros: Great script and acting; taut direction
Cons: A bit too violent for younger viewers

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: 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

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: Bettany is always watchable
Cons: plot holes, ludicrous close ups, lazy coasting

There are some people (of whom I'll admit to be one) who will see 'Firewall' as further evidence that Harrison Ford is coasting on autopilot toward an Indiana Jones IV payday that will keep Calista Flockhart in SlimFast for decades to come. The plot ...

Pros: Ford and Bettany
Cons: Tired Plot, lacks tension.

Following a three year absence from the big screen, Box Office Mega Star Harrison Ford returns in “Firewall” Ford Jack Stanfield, a devoted family man who works designing and maintaining networks and security systems for a small chain of banks. Jack who ...
