Same her! This movie didn't play very long at all in the theater, and I almost completely forgotten about it.

What are you talking about? It just opened.

Well, Harrison Ford is now dead to me. Firewall was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time... The trailer had more thrills in two minutes than this had in 100, never a good thing. One of the bad guys summed it up best when he said "I don't hate you Sarah, I just don't care about you"...that's how I felt with almost every character in this POS.

"I NEED TO GET BACK MY DOG!"

Maybe the movie was not booked here locally, but still, it's not advertised in the paper, or even on the theater marquee for some reason unknown.

So-so flick. Not one of the better films I've seen but certainly not the worst. Just a popcorn flick that I only paid $4 to see (matinee price).

I will be passing on this one on DVD also.

I hope Spielberg see this movie because he needs to know that most of us can't see Ford doing Indiana Jones anymore. Please don't do a Part 4 and ruin a the character.

Thought about seeing this, but after all the terrible reviews, I'll just rent instead.

I agree 100%, terrible dialogue. The actress that played Jack's secretary looked miffed the entire movie -

but in this movie it really became very apparent that Ford is showing his age - 63

I can't stand James Bennet who plays the Son. He was in Hostage and Amityville Horror, he drove me nuts in both of those films. Then I saw the trailer for Poseidon before Firewall, and there he was AGAIN (I leaned over to a friend, not knowing the kid was IN firewall, and said "I hope that kid dies in the first 15min of Posiedon, otherwise, it's going to be unbearable")...and then, he rears his ugly head in the movie I'm there to see...I was pissed.

I don't know who in Hollywood he KNOWS or is RELATED to, but there is no other reason a kid like this should be getting parts except nepotism. He is awful.

Wow. I didn't hate the son at all. For once I DIDN'T hate the kids in the movie. I also liked Virginia where I hated her in Sideways. Strange.

he looks like one of those kids who needs to get slapped around.

Oh yeah, hated the kids as well. I gotta agree with MDC, that boy was damned ugly and not a very good actor.

The daughter might have been passable, except in the few things where she actually did stuff, she was given idiotic things to do.

When Robert Patrick told Harrison Ford that if he wanted anything to just ask, I thought somehow he'd be coming to he aid of our hero. Of course, how everything gets cleared up for him in the end would've been interesting to see, even though it would've been useless in terms of the actual movie.

While I agree about your first point, I think you're exaggerating waay too much about the second.

Have to agree with most the people here though. Easily a skippable movie.

OK - just got back from seeing this (opened last week). Not bad, but not great either.

Few thoughts:

Is it me, or is Harrison Ford getting old? I know he's 63, but he's not a 'young' 63. My first thought when I saw him and Virginia was 'I wonder if he's playing her husband or her father'. Granted there is only 19 years between them (she's 44), but it would have been nice if he'd gotten someone a little closer to his age to play his wife.

As for the movie itself, there were a couple of really big plot holes:













There probably was a lot more holes, but these ones just hit me as being blindingly obvious - and they were as I was watching, not afterwards when I'd had time to think about it.

As I said - it was a fun bit of forgetfulness, but hardly near his best. And certainly not a film to stand up and applaude (imo).
