This was a pleasant surprise. I’d been wanting to see it, just for the Harrison Ford effect (one of my favorite actors, still). I thought it was a tense drama that worked. There were some loose ends (like his relationship with Robert Patrick’s character, they just didn’t write that part well). Ford plays the man responsible for a bank’s internet security. He family is held hostage until he helps them steal $10k apiece from the 10,000 largest accounts. He knows they will kill his family when it is all said and done, so he finds a way to buy more time and save his family. In the meantime, they also set him up for additional crimes.
Oddly, there is a character called “Born again Bob”. He’s a minor character. At one point they have him playing in a worship team during an evening service and “Jesus, Friend of Sinners” is cranking. Odd…. I wish the writer, or director, had done a little more to develop Bob so he didn’t come across as merely goofy (he kept hitting on Ford’s non-Christian secretary).
There is some violence and language. It did not suffer from the same problem as Air Force One- it ended on time. Air Force One was good, but just dragged on with a few false endings.
