Review of Firewall

Firewall (2006)
10/10
Seattle Rain Doesn't Damper this Firewall Thriller ****
29 June 2006
Wonderful thriller.

It reminds me of the old Frederic March film-"The Desperate Hours." The only difference is that this film deals with a bank and modern technology.

The action and acting are both first rate. A man, claiming to be a bank executive, turns out to be the head of the gang terrorizing Ford and his wife and children.

Harrison Ford shows depth in his acting and Virginia Madsen is great as his wife forced to cope in this hostage situation.

The gang's plan begins to go awry as the bank had been sold a week before and new technology was brought in.

A high speed chase only brings more excitement in this action packed film.

Alan Arkin plays an aging executive who is suspicious of Ford's erratic behavior.

A must see film. Excellent summer fanfare.
