Swordfish (2001)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A covert counter-terrorist unit called Black Cell led by Gabriel Shear wants the money to help finance their war against international terrorism, but it's all locked away. Gabriel brings in convicted hacker Stanley Jobson to help him. Despite being a bit slow at times 'Swordfish' digs the villain more than the hero and John Travolta does an insane amount of well done job as the villain, the same goes for Hugh Jackman as Stan and Halle Berry as Ginger. This is a well written film with a well written plot, characters and even with flaws it's a better movie than it gets credit for. (8/10)

This is the worst move I've ever seen in my life. The money that went into it was the only reason for its pathetic short expensive life. Every person involved was only interested in money. Any person involved in this ^&$(#@ should be barred from making any other films. Any person that enjoyed this pile of stinking dog excrement should stick to suicide instead. thank you.

People has they own opinion. And most people will agree with me that this is a very good movie. I was blown away while watching the movie. Underestimated the film and I had a pleasant nice surprise. Travolta as a bad guy is simply amazing. He has mayor roles as bad guys in Broken Arrow, Face/Off, The Punisher etc. And he pulls this one off brilliantly. And lets not forget about the great supporting cast: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle. This is a must watch for any movie fans and also John Travolta fans, as you will be blown away. A blockbuster that has everything, very slick and stylish. What else can I say excellent film.

2001's Swordfish is definitely an entertaining movie. It's not exactly one for the snooty type of critics out there, but it is entertaining, well acted, and interesting. First of all, Halle Berry definitely brought her all to this project, she really owned her character, Ginger. She just fit the role, and brought life to it. I think the breast nudity scene with Berry and Jackman was interesting, because it kinda showed some of Ginger's characteristics, she definitely is a sexual character, and uses her sexuality to her advantage with different men. Hugh Jackman is a great professional actor, and he for sure does not disappoint in this film, he is smart, focused, likable, and looks good while doing it ;) lol. And then we come to John Travolta, by 2001, he had definitely proved himself as an A-list Hollywood actor. He did not disappoint as the main villain, he was mysterious, evil, and unpredictable, which is exactly what he needed to be in this film. The action scenes, which involve shooting, explosions, car crashes, and more are great and very well constructed, and entertaining to see on screen. Overall, the plot is intriguing, has it's twists and turns, and keeps your undivided attention the whole way through. I definitely recommend Swordfish. 9/10.
