Protect yourself
This film was an average hollywood movie with a major filmstar, who in my mind is a bit like an American version of Michael Caine, as in, he doesn't get the films he deserves to be in. All in all this is a slow, but tense thriller, that can keep the average film watcher, like me, on the edge of his seat.

Reasonable... at best...
A very predictable and not too enthralling thriller, that has the look and feel of a made for TV film. Involves an IT manager in a bank that is compromised by having his family hostage into stealing money electronically. but it's never that easy as a takover is in progress that has changed all the banks systems. Will they get their loot in time, will his family survive, will he survive... It is reasonable enough if you want 1hr 45 of distraction, but definately has a been there before feel I'm afraid.
