Summary: 3 Stars
3.4 stars
A technically well-made action flick with occasional very interesting lines, Swordfish also gets way above its head in many areas.
I liked Travolta and Jackman well enough, and Berry is better than the normal starlet in these sorts of summer blockbuster movies (backhanded praise, of course). There were moments here that I really enjoyed, but they always seemed offset by some form of silliness that ratcheted everything else down a notch, like the hacking/bj scene. There's also zero sense of reality (the DOD mainframe gets hacked and they don't immediately track the ISP?), but I doubt that was the goal here.
The ending is laughable; watch the two deleted endings in the extras and listen to the director's commentary. He claims they added the [spoiler alert] bit about blowing up the terrorists to show that Travolta's character "is a patriot". Yeah, some patriot: he kills dozens of innocent bystanders to "save our American way of life". This is presented as some sort of rationale, incredibly. Look, boys, stick to the slam-bang action and leave the self-glorifying justifications for murder and torture to scumsacks like Dick Cheney. Saving our "way of life"! If paying ten bucks to go watch weirdly violent semi-nationalistic weirdness like this is our way of life, I'd say it might be time to get a new life.
Movie Review: Far-fetched plot + Bland acting = not worth watching
Summary: 1 Stars
The plot is so far-fetched it's ridiculous. The acting is insipid. It's not worth watching at all.
