This is out on DVD now and me and me little bro got it out the other day. It has Harrison Ford and Paul Bettany, and was very entertaining! Paul Bettany, playing a charming but evil character, once again showed his ability to play a truly evil character very well. Im not often a fan of Harrison Ford since Indiana Jones, but he suprised me in this. It is about a man (Ford) who’s family is kidnapped by Bettany’s character and his pals and held hostage so that Ford will rob the bank he works for going through the high security system that he himself created. The only unrealistic part is that if Bettany and Ford had a fight, they would be evenly matched - Ford is ancient and Bettany way bigger than him. Other than that a very good film, dont know how we missed it in the cinema!

I reckon people will begin to think I am disagreeing with you for the sake of it Miss Welby! But what the hey, you can delete my comments if you want!
Harrison Ford has done a couple of good films since Indy in my opinion. “Air Force One” is cheese beyond belief, but a great little action/thriller. Also I reckon people should see “Clear And Present Danger” and “Patriot Games”. They’re adaptations of Tom Clancy books, but don’t let that you put you off. Both films are complex, but “CAPD” in particular deserves praise for a great balance between intrigue and action. However, I don’t think these would appeal to lots of people.
But Indiana Jones is the best! It rocks! I think it surpasses Bond and maybe even Star Wars!
I also think Harrison Ford should be a bit more adventurous in his roles. Since Indy he has been playing the same sort of character hasn’t he?
Yeah, the only difference is his voice makes him sound more like an old man now than it did in Indy, which i suppose is fair seeing as he is really.
