I saw two movies last night on TV. A golden oldie Firewall (2006) with Harrison Ford and a more recent movie Black Sea (2014) with Jude Law in the lead role.
I'm a great fan of Harrison Ford and his acting in Firewall was outstanding. What really impressed me is how well he acted the role of an older tech specialist and clumsy in defending himself against his abductor/attackers. Guess most people are familiar with the movie as it's grown into a classic of sorts. A really interesting plot to rob a bank by abducting the family of the IT Director (Harrison Ford). Then the plot fails and the IT Director has to come up with an alternative plot to provide the abductors of his family with the money they wanted. And how he managed to reverse everything out in the end. Nice ending too. Give it 8/10.
The next movie - Black Sea - disappointed a little. Jude Law just didn't look realistic in the role for me - like he failed to carry the role of a Russian and his accent didn't work for me. He didn't look rough enough for me. An interesting plot though search for Nazi treasure trove consisting of gold at the bottom of the Black Sea. I score the move 6/10.
