This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat!
A fast paced suspenseful movie, with several twists, as Ford's character is forced to transfer money from accounts, at the bank where he works, into a crook's bank account. All the while they are watching his every move, and holding his family hostage. Talk about pressure!
Harrison Ford is superb, as always, and has help from a great supporting cast.
Excellent thriller , Harrison Ford is superb and back on form!!!!
Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) is an average family man in Seattle who heads up the hi-tech security team at his local bank. But following a seemingly trivial case of identity theft, Jack's life is turned upside-down when he discovers that his wife (Virginia Madsen) and two kids have been kidnapped. The ransom? A mere 100 million dollars, which the kidnappers, led by Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), want Jack to obtain for them via his expert computer skills. Initially compliant, Jack is soon irked by Cox and his cronies to the point where he decides to get his family back and bring the bad guys to justice. British Director Richard Loncraine (WIMBLEDON) uses this basic premise to orchestrate a number of frantic set-pieces, while Ford concocts a character similar to his take on Dr. Richard Kimble in THE FUGITIVE. With a mouthful of computer jargon and nimble fingers that tumble frantically over a keyboard whenever he's in front of a computer, Ford's character is an unlikely action hero. Meanwhile, Bettany's bad guy gives subtly sinister instructions in his clipped British accent, Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN) provides a likeable if underused ally for Ford, and Madsen slots neatly into her wife-in-peril role. As the film builds to an explosive climax Loncraine dumps the gadgets and carves out a delirious romp through action-movie conventions, ultimately infusing an old-fashioned story with a twist of 21st-century techno-fear
I bought this because I really like Harrison Ford. If you are looking for the great action you saw in "Air Force One" or "The Hunt for Red October" you will be disappointed. As we all do (as we age) Ford's showing his years. I'm not sure if they intentionally cut the fighting scenes down, but they seemed forced. They used luck and guile instead of brute force for Ford's character over the younger actors, as they should have for an aging actor. Because he's showing the kinks in his armour we will probably never see him like he was when he was younger. Oh well, we all age - if we're lucky enough to make it that far. Still a very good movie, super plot, well acted and with great editing. The editing makes it easy to follow the plot.
A family story with Bruce Willis, predictable but a good movie! I always enjoy an action flick that is up to date, I also had good experiance with this seller.
I bought this item because I had seen the movie in theaters and loved, I'm a big Harrison Ford fan and so the price and quality of this item was incredible and so I had to snap it up, so to speak, I really dont know what I'd do without Ebay! -Matt-
I always like harrison's Ford movies and the stories. Tha movie is a hit . I thank the seller for delivering it as fast as he promised. The price was good too. Nice seller to deal with. I'll do it again. Thanks!
Harrison Ford, portrays a married man in this film, just like the trailer shows. His average life comes to an abrupt end, when they take his family. They want their money. But to get to their money, first there is alot of negotiations. Like so many other edge of your seat films. This one keeps your attention and keeps you on the edge of your seat. You are always trying to second guess what is going to happen next. And it throws you when it doesnt happen at all that way. This is one for the dvd shelf. I rate this excellent for the productivity, the directing and the casting. The compassionism, and the fearfulness. And the surprise ending. A Must see.
action movie that doesn't disappoint. If you are a Harrison Ford fan this movie is for you. Grab your popcorn and get ready for a good movie that is perfect to watch on a Sunday Afternoon.
Harrison Ford is not out of the movie buisness yet! He comes on screen again as a employee at a high security bank. People have been monitoring his house for a while, and kidnap him and his family at the right moment. Harrison has to go into the bank, and transfer several million dollars into the kidnappers bank account.
I never received this item. Filed a claim but have not heard back from half.com. I can only imagine how good the movie is in my head.. Everyday it keeps getting worse since I am beginning to feel like I was ripped off.
I was looking forward to seeing this movie. I had seen the commericial and it looked interesting. The first half of the movie was slow. It built pace in toward the end. Harrison Ford is a great actor. I don't think this is giving away anything has his family is being held capture to blackmail him to rob his own bank. One of the problem I had with movie, Rain is Seattle is never heavy. I live in Washington State and the idea that rain can fall so hard that the wiper can't handle is a biazzare concept. It only mists all day. I agree that this is a minor flaw. Overall this is a good movie.
There is nothing better than a great HEIST movie. It's always exciting to see someone get away with it...at least for a while. This is a well written and brilliantly directed movie. Spike Lee has outdone himself working within the confines of traditional Hollywood and appealing to a wider movie going audience. Everything works here...the plot has more twists and turns than the best amusement park roller coaster. Just when you think you've got it figured out...BAMM...they twist it around again. Clive Owen...a highly underrated actor gives a great performance and Mr Denzel Washington is at his best playing the slightly offbeat NYPD detective trying to get back on track with his bosses after some unfortunate cases went sour. Watch for Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer playing against type for great performances. This one will leave you wanting more.
I was really excited to see this movie because it had Harrison Ford in it. The movie was very predictable and because of that I just rate it average. It was okay to watch once but it is not the type of film I could watch again.
I'm not going to lie to you buy saying this is the best movie ever made because well.... it isn't. It is alright though because it does have some pretty good parts to it and is even a little exciting at times. If you haven't seen it yet i would reccommend watching it but not buying it. It is a very good "renter"
I bought this on dvd and was a little disappointed. It was a good story about (basically) a bank robbery for $100,000,000. But, instead of an actual heist, it's done by electronic transfer and the internet. Harrison Ford plays Jack, the guy in charge of the computer/account security for a bunch of banks. His family gets kidnapped and he is forced to help the robbers. The movie is OK but nothing special. If you like Harrison Ford, you will probably like this film. But, don't expect the quality or entertainment value you get when Ford played The Fugitive, Indiana Jones, or Han Solo. This movie could of been better. Ocean's Eleven was a better heist movie.
Another action-packed Harrison Ford movie. It is just as exciting to me as any of the Indiana Jones Sagas!A "Must See" movie that will have you on the edge of your seat almost from the beginning to the very end!
I wish I could comment on this purchase, but I cannot! I have had over 80 transactions on e-bay. Some purchases have been over $400. There has never been any problem until this purchase (along with 2 others from the same person). I never received this item or the other two. The three transactions took place June 28th, and paid with Credit Card. They total around $30. - not a big deal, but the process to file a claim leaves much to be desired. Waiting 30 days to file a claim and then wait another 30 days for it to be resolved is a bit to ask a customer. To make things worse, the seller is no longer a registered member. SOMETHING IS"NT RIGHT!
price was write but the appeared to pirated copy.It would not play in dvd player and my laptop.I lost money on transction.because of previous experience on ebay about Sliver dvd which was also chinese made Paypal has blocked my account.
i like exciting movies so i bought this because of the gret adv. that they gave it .out of a 1 to 10 i would give it a 4 also the movi quit playing about 80 percent of the way through. i would like to say that of all the products i have bought on the internet movies are my biggest disappointment because they send whether it works or not because they know a lot of people won,t take the time to send them back dale
I like Harrison Ford films because most of them are action and adventure. I decided to buy it after I had seen it and wanted to add it to my collection. The price was right.
I like the movie .I saw it in the theatre and had to buy it.Had to add it to my movie collection.Its so much easier to buy from ebay and cheaper.Its a great thing EBAY!!
