We've Seen This Done Before: A Dozen Times
Firewall- is a movie, that I fell like I've seen, watched oe heard of before. Thats because it is. Cause you will get these types of movies mixed up. Hostage and negotitation movies, cause their all the same.

If you like or seen "John Q", "Hostage", "Inside Man", "The Town", "The Negotitaor" and "Money Monster". Than you kinda of like this one. The Problem is that, movies like "Inside Man", "The Town" and "John Q" are better. The other problem with this one is that, the final battle just ends so quickly, badly and pointless. Like the bad guy just dies and than boom end. What?? The whole movie was building up suspense between the main charcter and bad guy, and than he just dies with one hit/blow and thats it. The whole movie felt pointless, because of that. The whole suspense just gone, you felt nothing. Felt like the whole movie was pointless and it was.

The plot: Bank security expert Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) builds a career on his expertise in designing theft-proof computer systems for financial institutions. However, a criminal mastermind (Paul Bettany) kidnaps his family, and he must work feverishly to find a way to break into his own system and steal $100 million, for the lives of his loved ones hang in the balance.

Paul Bettany was excellet as the villian.

Other than that, this movie is a decent suspense thriller and that has a bad ending that makes this whole movie pointless.

Hmm it's ok I didn't think it was as good as the first. A lot of drama and not enough action for me. The pace of the film felt too slow and the comparison to Romeo & Juliet is overplayed. Some ok SFX, pity didn't get to see more of the bad vampires. One girls will like more than the guys, especially with all the topless guys showing six-packs stomachs. Hope the 3rd is more action packed.
  
For the last two and a half decades, the first-person shooter has been a mainstay in the video game world. Never shying away from a bit of controversy, they're typically games about killing hundreds of bad guys in sequence on a Rambo-like rampage through levels.

But shooters aren't all bloody rampages without meaning, style, or substance. In case you're not too well-versed in the genre, or just need some good recommendations, here are a selection:

The Telegraph have put together a list of the best shooting games, from the bombastic gorefests to smaller indie affairs.

Chilling! This show exceeded our expectations. We were expecting it to fill the Breaking Bad whole in our heart and it definitely did so. Now he doesn't go all "I'm the one who knocks" but he does keep his family safe in his own way with just a little bit of luck and a whole lot of finesse. I love seeing Jason Bateman in serious roles. He does funny well but serious is great for him too.

Typical Ritchie editing doesn't suit this type of film
Not the King of this story
It's not bad, but it's far from the best film about King Arthur and Excaliber. The Sfx are good and so are the fight scenes. There are too many characters and it times it has a lock stock, Snatch style elements to it. They didn't suit this film at all. It's ok but doesn't take the crown.

Better than expected
It's not as bad as some critics suggest, 15% Rotten Tomatoes?! 5.8 on Imdb. You know what to expect with this type of film. It has some good Sfx and action, stunt scenes. The plot and characters aren't great. At times I think it thought it was funnier than it is. Overall if you like the Brendan Fraser films you'll probably find this ok.

Ever felt like you're doing the same thing over and over again, but can't remember when? Yeah, that's this movie. You don't even get time to blink, it's simply straight into action, again and again. Surprisingly, you don't feel like the repetition is getting old. A fast paced, thrilling ride, right to the very end. Plus it's Stephen Amell's cousin so he's very easy on the eyes :p Not bad for an Netflix Original.

Great world building and characterisation. Margaret Atwood creates characters that are complex, not purely good nor purely bad but motivated by their experiences and perceieved truths. (0 more)
Intense in all the right ways
Maragaret Atwood is a superb writer, with fleshed out concepts that on the surface are dystopic but are mirrored in current society. This book is intense and emotive, as is its recent television adaption, highly recommended to those that can handle intense and adult themes.
