Firewall (DVD)

Harrison Ford usually gives full value for money, and he’s right on the button with this one: an exciting action drama that parallels a sort of high-tech remake of The Desperate Hours in parts.

Jack Stansfield (Ford) is the chief security executive of an international bank. He is introduced to one Bill Cox (Paul Bettany) over some vague talk about a proposed bank merger and the need for tighter security. Cox soon proves to be a ruthless big-time robber, who blackmails Stansfield into embezzling large amounts of the bank’s money by means of holding Jack’s family hostage and threatening to kill them – having already murdered one of his own men in front of them to prove that he means what he says! Needless to say, he has no intention of leaving either Stansfield or his family alive when the job has been completed: and an array of constantly monitored spy cameras and microphones prevent Stansfield from trying to do anything he is not instructed to do.

The excellent supporting cast includes Virginia Madsen as Beth, Stansfield’s wife; with Robert Patrick (a good guy for once!) and Alan Arkin as two senior company officials.

With his family held for ransom, the head security executive for a global bank is commanded to loot his own business for millions in order to ensure his wife and children's safety. He then faces the demanding task of thwarting the kidnapper's grand scheme, which makes him look guilty of embezzlement.
