Well I saw this film tonight. First impressions. Fun movie, very entertaining. The pacing in the beginning was a bit slow, but it picked up nicely and moved along toward the end.

Paul Bettany was a very good villan, and Harrison was great as always. I thought that the writer, and director did a great job of writing Harrison's part. He was an old guy. He got beat up, and you could tell it hurt him more than it would a younger guy. It seemed very realistic to me.



YOU ARE WARNED THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD!



The only things that bothered me about this film was some of the coincidences, and the unbelievablity of the "heist". I mean, making an image scanner from a fax machine and Ipod, and just happen to be having a GPS on your dog's collar. Somewhat coincidental happenings that helped the story transpire. Those are my few content complaints, but overall I enjoyed the film, and it's worth two hours of your time.
 
SPOILER, maybe....

At the end of the movie, all 3 members of Ford's family have their hands bound behind their backs. They run off as Ford fights Bettany. Ford beats Bettany. They all come back from around the corner. All three miraculously are no longer bound with their hands behind their backs and can freely run and hug Dad.

Did I miss something... did they edit out the scene where they find a piece of broken glass and cut free? Did they just think the audience would forget? Stupid!(unless I blinked and missed something that would explain it)

also thought it was super cheesy having Ford pick up the dog, look yonder and behold, an abandoned shack on the edge of the lake.

This film is just so,so. Better renter than theatre flick.

i have set up security for a few small businesses and... believe me.. when i set up a password its all alphanumeric and about 16 characters long...

Which does nothing but encourage the user to write the password down...probably on a yellow sticky underneath the keyboard.

And then they make us change them every 90 days, and you can't reuse them before 12 changes have gone by.

And there's a different password for each system we have to log onto.
