Review of Firewall (2006) by Chads. — 18 Feb 2006
Never mind the family. Is the dog going to survive? Virginia Madsen, coming off her immaculate waitress role from "Sideways", and Carly Schroeder, cashing-in on her appearance in the wondrous indie "Mean Creek", are so bland, it hardly matters if they live or die.
You get the sense that Harrison Ford has an edict that his co-stars don't upstage him. Mary-Lynne Rajskub(as Jack Stanfield's secretary Janet) comes close. Even though Rajskub doesn't have any memorable lines, as a sidekick on the run with Ford, her confused reaction shots and refusal to smile plays like an anti-Sandra Bullock during her "Speed" heyday.
She's easily the best thing in this dreary and predictable action flick. Love the car.
