Having seen Harrison Ford playing the main character, I actually have high expectations for this movie. I assumed that it would be in the same category with other IT dominated movies e.g. swordfish. However this movie is more focussed on Jack... Full review

Once again Harrison Ford entertains us with a story that puts him in a struggle to save his family. This is a solid film; but not very original and that is what hampers it. If it wasn't for the skills of... Full review

This is a good movie. I said "Good", not great,not Oscar-worthy, not even particularily memorable. Just good. It is standard Harrison Ford territory. He's the everyday good guy, who is in danger from an evil force, with a foreign accent (I... Full review

It's hardly original action thriller material, and you can predict the storyline from the early stages of act one.

But if Ford ever makes another movie as dumb as "Firewall," it could be curtains for his reputation. Firewall" looks like harmless entertainment, but in reality it's a virus that needs to be quarantined before it reformats our memory of Ford's career. ... Full Review

Still, Firewall was a fun film in a certain manner. While this wasn't miles above the HD-DVD counterpart, I would consider this Blu-Ray release of Firewall just as good as the HD-DVD release. ... Full Review
