The word is "generic". It gets points for entertaining me in some places, but otherwise there isn't anything special about this film.

Oh Harrison Ford, how the mighty have fallen into mediocrity. Harrison Ford, again, plays the concerned father that must save his family from certain death at the hands of someone who blackmails him. Firewall isn't bad per-se but the word "mediocre" perfectly describes this film. Well, that's not entirely true. The ludicrous techno-babble makes it a bit worse than that. Honestly if you have any concept of technology this movie will be making you roll your eyes almost outside your head.

A rare bomb from Ford. The plot is paper thin, the acting is lazy (except for Bettany), and you have zero empathy for the characters. Thumbs down.

Why does Harrison Ford's family always get kidnapped? Bad guys must hate him.

Not bad, but how exciting can a movie about a 60 year old hacking into a bank computer be?

Filled with plot-holes and mediocre characterizations. Paul Bettany makes a decent villain, but he is in an otherwise ho-hum film that lacks fun or suspense.
