Before seeing Firewall, several people had told me how bad it was and to avoid it at all costs. However, despite all the negative comments, I really enjoyed this one. Harrison Ford plays Jack Stanfield, a bank security chief who has designed an impermeable firewall system for the bank's computers. Jack is introduced to a man named Bill Cox, who wants to work with him on a new security project. The tables then turn when Cox pulls a gun on Jack, demanding that he hack into the bank's security system and swipe $100 million dollars or his family will be killed. The only thing I had a problem with in this film was the less-than-perfect performance from Harrison Ford. He's getting up in his years, and he's really not believable in these kinds of roles anymore (which makes me wonder if Indy 4 is a mistake or not). Aside from this simple miscast, Firewall is a good film and I think most people will enjoy it.
