Harrison Ford can retire.
If you've been around as an actor for so long that you keep recycling your own movies, it's time to stop. A few years ago Ford already did it with the redundant fourth part of the Indiana Jones series, here he comes with a kind of Fugitive reload. This time as a hunted banker.
The film cannot surprise in any way, the cast acts as a bunch of disinterested robots and Ford slides through it as an elderly father. The action is still good here and there, but if you can really draw out every sequel scene, that doesn't offer much solace either.
For the younger viewers, who haven't seen much, such a film can be quite nice. Otherwise, better skip it. 2**

Nearing retirement, Harrison Ford is kidnapped once again, and what follows is a sort of copy-paste from other such films. At times he even gets the mustard from MacGyver. Here and there there are some nice finds in the script, but the whole thing is more average.

“I just hacked into your accounts.”
A somewhat stale thriller. Harrison Ford can still play these kinds of roles in his sleep, and I think he took that a little too literally. It's not just him, because the script also fails. There is no tension, and Bettany is too much of a gentleman to play a convincing bad guy. A hostage situation in this film is more like a tea party. The far-fetched ending is the icing on a very old and stale cake.
