Friar is a former hacker and IT expert who finds a hair-trigger bomb strapped to his desk chair.
An unseen hacker orders him to steal digital funds online -- or have his daughter abducted. As a fearless bomb expert that looks like Mel Gibsons dad arrives on the scene, the hacker frames Friar as the bomber.
The tension mounts as Friar races to clear his name and expose the real terrorist without getting himself blown......................up.
What is it with Kevin (not as successful as Matt) Dillon? All of a sudden he has come out of nowhere and seized the straight to Blu Ray crowd in one full swoop.
And despite the bad reviews this film is getting, it's pretty good to be fair.... Think Phone Booth in a chair.......it's pretty good stuff.
So Dillon has to hack all wonders of locks and firewalls, and if he moves from the chair, or too far away from the monitor, he goes with a bang.
Add Mel Gibson to the mix, and it's really good to watch. Gibson has starred in a slew of straight to Blu ray releases just of late, and he still shows what a great actor he is, putting his all into a glorified extended cameo. Think all you want about his private life, which you really shouldn't, he really elevates a film when he is on screen.
The last third falls apart at the end, as the hacker is revealed, and the rationale is pretty stupid to be honest.
But then again, we are watching a film about an exploding chair, so who am i to moan about it.....
