Firewall (2006)
Generic
18 February 2006
The movie previews have been playing Firewall for ages. The storyline is another family gets kidnapped for ransom, so guy needs to save them scenario. The problems begin with the casting. Harrison Ford is not believable as the father of an 8 year old. This role should have gone to someone younger; and more cutting edge in their acting skills. Frankly, Ford presented himself more as an out-of-shape grandfather. There was an "action," scene where his belly jiggled before hitting the floor. He arose from the event looking rather feeble. Did I mention he was too old for the role?! The script is generic, and not once did this viewer buy into the family characters as being realistic people. The actions and inactions of his family defied logic. There are some very bad lines that correlate with those scenes. The title of the movie doesn't fit with the storyline any more than peanuts do. The price of admission for this movie was a regrettable one. The dog alone, was the only memorable part of the movie.
