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.

This book has it all!! A story line that kept me on the edge of my seat. Characters that come to life right in front of you and the perfect combination of mystery and suspense. This is an all around fantastic read and you won't want to put it down!

A classic
This is a brilliant example of Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford at their best. Considering this was made back in 1982, the effects and the whole look of the city still look surprisingly futuristic and not shoddy and outdated. The score really adds to the tension and suspense, and the cast are great. This is one of the few examples where the film is actually better than the source material (Philip K Dick' s short story).

Best horror???
My wife and I managed to get along to see this and both of us were disappointed. We were expecting loads of jump scares and frights but neither of us received any, the premise was good but the fact the story didn't fill in any blanks as to how the creatures came to be or why left you completely in the dark. While some may enjoy, I wasn't one of them.

May 7, 2019
what a fab story, filled with romance and suspense. I loved the story line and was totally hooked. this is a fully romantic read with little hot moments but the story flows. the characters all worked together and moved the story along at a even pace. I loved how it was in both perspectives, so you got an insight into each of the characters thoughts and feelings
