Jack Stanfield is a bank security expert, whose specialty is designing infallible theft-proof financial computer systems. But there's a hidden vulnerability in the system he didn't account for - himself. When a ruthless criminal mastermind kidnaps his family, Jack is forced to find a flaw in his system and steal $100 million. With the lives of his wife and children at stake and under constant surveillance, he has only hours to find a loophole in the thief's own impenetrable system of subterfuge and false identities to beat him at his own game.
This was an entertaining movie but it could have been better. Some suspense but it wasn't thrilling as I had hoped for in a Harrison Ford movie. The script seems vacuous as if every action was prolonged just to fill the movie time slot. The quality was insipidly done; you could totally tell when they used a fake background. On the positive side, the acting was great, entertaining and is a great family type movie since it didn't have much violence in it. All in all I give this movie 2 stars out of 5.
