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, 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 risk everything to get his family back and bring the bad guys to justice...

30 out of 100 By the book
Ciaran from Dublin, 15 May 2007
Thriller by the numbers featuring everyone's favourite man under pressure. Ford plays it typically as the exec who's family are held hostage while he has to hack his own company's systems. Nothing original to be found but is an enjoyable enough diversion.

25 out of 100 Just ok
John from Dublin, 10 Dec 2007
Interesting in parts, somewhat implausible in others. The acting, story, script were decent so not a bad movie but just didn't quite have enough new to offer for me. We've seen Harrison Ford do this kind of a role way too many times.

It's so disappointing to see that even a huge star like harrison ford not getting the roles and scripts that he deserves. This is a lame attempt at recreating the glory years of tom clancy movies that he did so well. It's such a drag to watch a great actor's decline in money-grubbing tinseltown. Don't rent this!

10 out of 100 A mistake
Alex from Dublin, 28 Dec 2007
I'm not sure why I added this film to my list. Harrison Ford was only ever great in Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Bladerunner. Every other movie he has done where he plays the misunderstood or manipulated good guy is dull. This is dull. Predictable, boring. There's a slight highlight with the evil English baddie but apart from that you've seen this film before.

Mark from Dublin, 02 Oct 2007
Lets face is it is not exactly a new idea but it ticks all the boxes for a thriller and Harrison Ford as usuall delivers a quality performance to carry it along.
