Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) has a very comfortable life, a loving wife, two kids and a dog. He’s living the American dream. His life is made comfortable because he’s good at what he does – he heads up computer security at a bank’s head office.

But changes are afoot, the bank is looking at a merger, and Jack is being head hunted. Changes, that could make Jack even more comfortable.

Unfortunately, because of his position, Jack is also a target, and when his family gets kidnapped, Jack finds that he has to use his skills to hack into the bank and steal money or his family will be killed.

Yes, we’ve seen the plot a million times before, and Harrison Ford plays it by the cards, it’s predictable, formulaic and has a saccharine sweet ending.

So why bother watching a run of the mill suspense flick? Because its fun, it’s easy on the brain and it’s got a warm fuzzy ending.

It also has a few twists and turns that you might not see coming, so there’s the possibility that you, like me, will be on the edge of your seats from time to time.

Production wise, like the plot and action, it’s average, but probably a lot better than anything you’ll be watching on TV!

Food for thought:
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can make you a target!
