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.

So here's the thing , this is an absolute action thriller movie , very nicely directed and well planned. The actors have done really nice job. This movie should be rated more. I enjoyed every this movie very much. Yes ! this is one of the underrated movies. Last half hour is more interesting though as the movie is reaching it's climax. The movie is filled with surprises things happen out of nowhere and then you see the movie then you have a " Big Oh " moment.There is one thing 'the hacking scenes' . That was most unrealistic thing I have ever seen. People typing gibberish , for five times it will show 'access denied' after 10 seconds and numerous attempts, it will show 'access granted' . I mean what the hell . With all crazy intense music and people hacking stuffs made me laugh ,for real. But I can understand, on those days people didn't knew about hacking , so they used to give that a pass. Anyone who don't know about computers would give it a pass! The action scenes are really cool ,they have worked a lot on that part of movie.The movie contains nudity and profanity.This movie can hold audiences for long time and it will be enjoyable movie for all.

Now this is what I call a movie, a proper high octane action movie! The opening sequence sets the scene for the whole movie, with a matrix like 360 degree panoramic slow mo, but not of someone kicking someone else. Oh no! This is a 2 zillion frames per second, or maybe less I don't know, shot of an exploding bomb, one filled with ball bearings which zoom out at you. Turn the volume up because the sound accompliment is awesome, making full use of the dolby 5.1 format, great stuff. Like I said, this sets the scene for the rest of the movie, complete with guns, gals, explosions and all the rest of the essential elements of a great action flick. The plot thickens nicely, the acting of John Travolta is great for the role, and the performance of Halle Berry is what you would expect of an Oscar winner. I bought it the day it came out. I highly recommend you add it to your collection too!

Being a big John Travolta fan i was very excited to see how he would perform in this (following his recent not-so-good movies!!), and i can safely say that i loved his performance in Swordfish (easily his best since Broken Arrow in 1996). However it's not just his performance which carries this movie; other great cast include hugh jackman, halle berry and don cheadle. There are some fantastic action sequences as well, like the opening scene or the car chase (which is fantastic, by the way, as you would expect from Dominic Sena) To sum it up, a fantastic action/techno thriller; if you liked John's other movies (like broken arrow, face off, pulp fiction) then you will probably really enjoy this. Highly recommended!!!!
