2 Thumbs up for Swordfish.
Swordfish was a really fun movie. It's not going to win awards for anything other than rating it on the popcorn flick rating system.
The opening scene rocked. From the start it was just great dialog and Travolta's charisma really helped pull it off. Then the scene outside with the bullettime explosions was great. It started the movie off with a bang, literally and kept me glued throughout.
The only thing that I didn't like about the movie was where Jackman's character is swilling wine while doing the whole 'encryption building process'. That was stupid and it was a joke. It was just a way of overdramatizing that whole process. Along the same lines, when Gabriel had the gun to his head in the bar while trying to crack the DOD db. That whole process, when showing the screen was more garbage and gibberish. Of course, that could be the computer geek in me, but all that he was typing in were unix commands and ip addresses (of which most don't exist).
Ok, now that I did my short rip, I will go back to saying that the movie as a whole was a great flick. I saw it in the theater and bought it on DVD as soon as it came out. I'd suggest it to anyone who likes "popcorn flicks".

Oh my! I absolutely agree Kes! Travolta and Jackman are just dreamy in this film! i love the bus and helicopter scene. i like it alot! i adore Travolta, he can defitnetly played the bad guy character perfectly! he was kind of a dark villain in this film. Great movie i recommended!

swordfish rox my sox! i don't remember it ever being released at the cinema but i bought it from woolworths one day (mainly cuz hugh jackman was in it) and i loved it. Why didn't halle die? Why o why didn't halle die? would have been so good if she did.
Brilliant opening scenes and i liked the way the story was planned out showing the climax at the end first and then building up the story to the ending as flashbacks. The movie messed with my head at first but i finally got it in the end. Wasn't too keen on all that computer encryption talk though, made me proper confused. Overall a very good movie which i recommend to all 😄

Oh, I agree with that 😄
Travolta is awesome as a bad guy. For example, in Face Off, both he and Nicolas Cage did a great job switching atittudes from good to bad. Excellent acting.
I just didn't like Halle Berry turned out to be

She should have stayed with Hough Jackman 😛
Yes! Halle Berry was astounding! True, i want to see her and Jackman in the end kissing or something. 😉
Omg face off kept me in my seat when i watched! The suspence kept me going!
I was watchin that punisher trailer and I think i will go see it. Not because of the hero......but mostly because of the bad guy. 😄
