    Calm down freaks. When you make a movie, or have a career like ford then you can talk. I though it was an all right film.

    It kept me on the edge of my seat. Loved every minute.

    Interesting story of how technology can cut both ways with standard Harrison Ford action that we've come to love and expect.

    "Firewall" gives new meaning to the term "action film." This movie did what so many others in this genre have failed to do. It kept my interest the whole two hours it ran. Richard Loncraine, who had never directed a thriller before, does an absolutely wonderful job. Harrison Ford is incredible. Paul Bettany is one of the creepiest bad guys I've seen in the movies for a long time. My only problem is that the other robbers were, for the most part, too silly to be taken seriously. If you are in the mood for an edge-of-your-seat movie, rent "Firewall" and get ready for a wild ride.… Expand

    We spend too much time with the kidnappers - a veritable Geek Squad of undifferentiated techies - as each successive escape attempt is foiled and our eyes are warped by abundant shots of computer screens and grainy surveillance-camera footage.

    Firewall’s predictable second half betrays the film's early promise.

    It starts off with a slick split-screen bang, but this high tech heist thriller is like a For Dummies guide to the genre.
