Filmed in Colour

Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford, pictured) is a bank security whiz who has created a computer firewall to protect his employer from fraud. All's well until mysterious businessman Bill Cox (Paul Bettany) turns up, interested in working on a security project with Jack. As it turns out, the only project he's interested in is the one where he holds Jack's family to ransom and forces him to rob his own bank.

Now looking a little tired, the 63-year-old Ford does his best here, but it's not one of his best performances. The film - after an initial tense set-up - is also a bit flabby, becoming rather formulaic. Worth a look, though.
