The New York Times
Turns into a meticulously choreographed bang-by-the-numbers action fantasy that I would accuse of peddling evil if the film weren't so dumb and incoherent.
Full reviewHugh Jackman leads this 2001 crime thriller as a talented hacker brought in by a rogue agent (John Travolta) with a desire to fight terrorism on his own terms. The plan? Steal $9 billion dollars from the DEA's secret account. Co-stars Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and the late, great Sam Shepard.
Turns into a meticulously choreographed bang-by-the-numbers action fantasy that I would accuse of peddling evil if the film weren't so dumb and incoherent.
Full reviewJohn Travolta attempts to recapture some of his former cool in "Swordfish," a half-absorbing, half-ridiculous techno-thriller that often goes too far in audience-rousing effects.
Full review"Swordfish" looks like the result of a nasty explosion down at the Plot Works. It's skillfully mounted and fitfully intriguing, but weaves such a tangled web that at the end I defy anyone in the audience to explain the exact loyalties and motives of the leading characters.
