Firewall (2006)
8/10
Solid Ford work
25 April 2006
It is obvious that this movie will not win many 'originality'-awards. However, it is still solid entertainment. Harrison Ford is Jack Stanfield and, that goes without saying, he is the here, the one to make the wrongs right, so to speak.

Paul Bettany does a good job at the 'creepy British villain'-bit and other supporting actors, including Virginia Madsen and Robert Forster hold their own as well.

Ford is in good shape and he gets room to show everyone that he isn't your typical 62-year-old... ;-) In conclusion and without spoiling anything; a well-made action-thriller that makes up the lack of surprise by the performances of the well-cast actors...

Inside Man (2006)
9/10
Well made heist flick
14 March 2006
An unusual turn for director Spike Lee, the conventional heist movie 'Inside Man', starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster & Chiwetel Ojiofor.

Even though the plot has twists, it's still pretty straight forward stuff for the usually controversial filmmaker. What is obvious though, is that good filmmakers turn this material into something more than it might have been by a 'lesser' director.

Solid performances by the cast, even though Jodie Foster is somewhat underused in this, but still, a solid heist movie with an interesting turn of events.
