Movie eview: Firewall

Having watched Firewall by Harrison Ford, left me in an absorbed daze … to imagine how fragilely others can simply pick up on our identities through rummaging of our thrash. But even more sinisterly, on how they can manipulate technology to grip upon us in conspiracy & corporate espionage … brings up too many questions about people, ethics & technology drawing the almost invisible lines.

Without giving too much away, it’s the bad guys holding the hero’s family at ransom at the price of our hero helping the goons nick a cool 100 mil at the click of the mouse. Amazingly scary too that the baddies are confident to draw 10,000 from each top client … but baffling all the same cause if they can draw 10k so easily, why not more? Confounding …

All the same, the movie displays the hallmark of all Harrison’s movies with lots of action, improvisation and twists. And as the story keeps unfolding slowly, the movie succeeds in keeping you on your toes cause we just don’t know what the baddie, Paul Bettany has up his sleeve. Think this is one of the movies to watch for the decent script.
