So there's a new movie coming out. Firewall.

It stars Harrison Ford and the absolutely awesome Paul Bettany as the villain. If only it weren't such a rehashed story.

Yup looking forward to seeing this one. When Ford is in the movie, you're guaranteed a good storyline and acting....

No one else sees this as a rather cliche idea for a movie? Computer hacking, bank accounts and hostages? Sounds kinda like "Swordfish" and "Hostage"

By-the-numbers plot + trailer revealing certain plot points = lack of interest on my behalf.

Harrison never fails to meet my expectations what are you guys talking about????? I mean a lot of movies regurgitate ideas, but it's the person who pursues the role that makes a movie great....

Harrison Ford rules, Paul Bettany rules, and Virginia Madsen rules.

Which is why I'm wondering how they got all three of them to agree to make a movie whose plot seems to have been done in 17 movies and 12 TV movies of the week before.

It doesn't help that the trailer sucks ass and gives everything away either.

We've seen this movies 100 times. Harison Ford is to old, he hasn't done much good stuff lately. Paul bettany seem to be a good vilain, but the movie seem to suck.

What Harrison Ford really needs is to take some supporting roles in bigger movies. Stuff that's quality, even if he's not the main character. And soon enough, that'll propel him back to the good older guy main character parts, instead of this shit.

Yeah, but hes a badass.

I dont think we see enough of the everyman fighting back LIKE THIS. I liked his character in AirForceOne, because damn he was proactive. (people make the comparion to Die HArd, naturally, but McClane is compltely passive for most of the film - only reacting to the things Hans does, with the exception of tossing the body out the window, calling for help, etc)


Um what was i saying.
