Roxio CinemaNow - Firewall

Faint praise is all that the critics are doling out to the makers of Firewall, starring Harrison Ford. Manohla Dargis writes in the New York Times that it manages to entertain mildly only be cause it traffics in all the familiar action-movie clich?s, giving moviegoers ample opportunity to test their action-movie I.Q. Writes Peter Howell in the Toronto Star: Firewall is at best a passable time waster. Several critics question the advisability of casting Ford in the leading role. Among them is Desson Thomson in the Washington Post, who writes: Ford's brand of resolute action hero has become obsolete -- at least for him. Although the actor looks in great shape for someone turning 64 in July, the job description calls for vigor and virility. And Claudia Puig remarks in USA Today: Harrison Ford needs a better agent. Or a sharper pair of reading glasses for perusing scripts. He just seems to keep choosing the same tired heroic roles, and ends up coming across as a caricature of his younger self.

A very weak and inconceivable story. The characters were insipid (except for the little kid in real life he would have croaked!). Check out "Straw Dogs" with Dustin Hoffman.Now that was a movie!
