2006, United States & Australia, English

We are in hyper tech age. So we met with hi-tech robbery not long while ago. Hollywood heist genre wasn't long to adapt itself to this new style of robbery. Here, in that Harrison Ford movie, we will be witnessing a hi-tech theft. A bank robbery without entering in the bank.

Since it is taking place on a monitor, it isn't easy to reflect the action as much as the traditional heist movies. The movie doesn't fail in that point. It runs smooth enough to capture the audience`s attention.

Not a hit movie, but especially if you want to add 'variety' in your heist movies experience, here it is, Firewall isn't a bad choice.

The movie was nominated for Taurus Award in World Stunts Awards for 'Best Fight' category.
