Mrs. Movie reviews: Firewall


Yet again we are faced with an action film with the penultimate action star according to the film industry, none other than Harrison Ford (that's right he is a spry 64). We are introduced to the main character of Jack who is the head of security for a small chain of banks. He of course is a loving husband and wife and has an unending work ethic and knowledge of everything hacking. So far the standard level of action film suspension of disbelief that the average moviegoer can endure. The problem is that the unbelievable scenarios just keep coming and getting worse (my favorite is the pet dog's GPS collar). This movie continually makes use of one of my biggest Hollywood pet peeves – overtly convenient story twists. So much that it misuses the standard action film privilege of suspension of disbelief and jumps straight to annoying.
