Harrison Ford is outshone by his costars in this crisp, conventional thriller.
The movie gets a lift from Mary Lynn Rajskub in a glamorized version of her nerd's wet dream Chloe on 24, which is also better this year with the Chloe quotient pumped up.
You've seen this movie a dozen times.
This is one of the dopiest plans in the history of evil genius plans.
Firewall is barely worth seeing, despite its above-average cast.
As we watch Ford reprise his trademark mannerisms, we no longer enjoy the ring of familiarity. We just hear the tolling of a bell -- Ford's.
The movie is so disposable that you won't remember you've seen it.
Harrison Ford turns to action heroism again. Teens and up.
Another edge-of-your-seat, roller coaster ride from a matinee idol everybody loves to root for.
A solid ensemble almost saves Firewall, but, in the end, it goes up in campy flames.
Director Richard Loncraine shows no affinity for the nuts and bolts of constructing thrillers, playing out the script's empty threats and chases at a lethargic pace.
There is an air of desperation about Firewall, a sense that Ford needed to make this movie just to keep his face in the public eye, lest we think he had fallen off the planet altogether.
It's weak career choices like these and their inevitable box office failure that make the media and the industry think that Ford is over.
A formulaic, it'll-do action-thriller, Firewall does what you'd expect it to well enough but fails to fully exploit the skills of its talented cast -- particularly the leading man.
Its formulaic moves seem particuarly tired.
It's a stock thriller all the way, predictable and by the book. But you can never count Harrison Ford out of any film. (HD-DVD and DVD Combo)
Firewall is a cliché riddled action thriller that doesn't do anything to thrill or entertain you. Firewall is actually quite boring, and the concept, though somewhat intriguing, fails to be thrilling. Firewall disappointed me and I was hoping for something better than this. Unfortunately the film ends up falling flat,
