Trivia:
One of the first days filming at the cabin up in Kamloops a crew member was almost bitten by a rattlesnake as he walked along the track to the set. The Assistant Location Manager was called to solve this little problem - as is usual while out on locations. He confronted the snake, picked it up and after showing it around and having his picture taken with it, walked a ways off the traveled path and set it free. more

Couldn't be any Worse!, 12 June 2006
1/10
Author: Ed Voorhies (etvetv2001) from Jackson, TN

I'm very upset about the shoddy quality of this movie. It is, without a doubt, the worst that Harrison Ford has ever starred in. Every thing about it is lame, especially the premise itself. This plot (or similar) has been done so many times before that is't tiresome and boring in and of itself. There are two types of movies that I swear from this day forth I will never waste my time watching again. One is the plot where a high school or college basketball coach is enlisted to rejuvenate a losing team, and the other is one in which a CEO or other high level person has their family kidnapped for some kind of favor. We've seen all of these we need. Every subtlety and twist and trick been used, and used again, and overused, so the only possible result for a movie of this theme, if it IS released, is to be boring, predictable, and mundane, which "Firewall" achieves in spades. Please don't waste either your time of money on this disaster.
