FIREWALL Film Review - 5/6/06

Having seen this competent thriller by Director Richard Loncraine it will while away a couple of hours and the last 20 minutes is pretty nail-biting to boot. Harrison Ford capably carries off the family man stuck in the middle of a crisis as bank robber Paul Bettany slowly stitches him up. Virginia Madsen as Ford's wife tries to hold it together as things get well and truly out of hand. Cameos more or less from Robert Patrick, Robert Forster and Alan Arkin pack out a fairly slim plotline that has been retread before but still feels fairly fresh with a couple of new twists as the story spirals to it's inevitable conclusion. If you've a wet Sunday afternoon spare you probably could find the time to sit down and watch this entertaining thriller which is out on Region 1 (USA) DVD very soon.
