I missed Firewall at the theaters because I foolishly read a review of it online. I liked it. It was a little bit reminiscent of The Fugitive in the sense of the chase, so if you liked that movie, you'll probably like this one.

Harrison Ford plays a computer security manager, but the movie is not overly technical. That's a good thing because normally script writers don't know a thing about computers but usually don't know that they don't know. One technical tidbit that I did glean from the movie is that apparently the state of Washington has full wireless Internet access even in its remote mountains. That's good to know.

This movie is fun. It's not going to win any awards, but I'm not sure who watches those movies anyway. If you want a good chase movie that gives you a bit of suspense, throw Firewall into your Netflix.com queue and watch it late at night.
