Firewall : short review
Computer security specialist Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) works for the Seattle-based Landrock Pacific Bank. A trusted top-ranking executive, he has built his career and reputation on designing the most effective anti-theft computer systems in the industry, protecting the bank's financial holdings from the constant threat of increasingly sophisticated internet hackers with his complex network of tracers, access codes and firewalls. Jack's position affords a comfortable life for him, his architect wife Beth (Virginia Madsen) and their two young children - a standard of living that includes a beautiful home in a residential community just outside the city. But there's a vulnerability in Jack's system that he has not accounted for: himself... It's a vulnerability that one very ruthless and resourceful thief is poised to exploit. Bill Cox (Paul Bettany) has been studying Jack and his family for many months monitoring their online activity, listening to their calls and learning their daily routines with an arsenal of digital and video recorders and parabolic microphones that tap into the most personal of information. He knows the names of their children's friends, their medical histories, and the I.D. code for the security station that guards their neighbourhood. Having spent the better part of a year methodically infiltrating every aspect of Jack's identity, Cox is now ready to make good on his investment...

Here, in all it's glory, is the second volume of Crossroads, including episodes released on DVD for the very first time. Meg and Sandy Richardson, Benny Hawkins, Adam Chance, Shughie McFee - the names still strike a chord in the memories of a generation of people who sat, entranced, watching the latest escapades of the staff and customers of Crossroads motel. Entranced, but usually for the wrong reason! Would the walls wobble? Would the actors dry up or start laughing mid sentence? Anything could happen.
