Featured review
Overall, an enjoyable movie, until the end when it felt like the director got sick of the movie and said "that's a wrap. everyone leave".
Fortunately, they didn't go overboard with the usual lousy computer scenes you normally see in a movie. In fact, the whole name of "Firewall" is poorly chosen.
If you're looking for a simple pseudo-thriller that follows the typical script, you'll enjoy this.
If you're looking for more than that, look elsewhere.
I give it a 5 out of 10. Had some enjoyable moments, but like I said, it simply ends poorly.
