Firewall

FIREWALL (2006) - Feb. 8, 2006
A run-of-the-mill but entertaining thriller. Harrison Ford stars as a family-man who's forced to steal money from the bank he works for by a sinister British bad guy (played well by Paul Bettany). It was a bit on the long side though, and certainly could have benefited from a bit of trimming. It felt long particularly towards the end, but then it was totally redeemed by one of the best fight scenes I've seen in a while. Ford and Bettany just go at it in a really brutal, gritty fight scene that was far better than anything I would have expected in a movie like this. It was awesome. ***
