Swordfish (2001) 6/10

Starring : John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Sam Shepard, Vinnie Jones
Director : Dominic Sena
Running Time : 99 mins

Stanley Jobson (Jackman) is hired by Gabriel Shear (Travolta) to hack into a government computer system and access a long forgotten government account codenamed Swordfish so that he can take the 15 years worth of accumulated money and use it to fund his secret anti-terrorism group, but Jobson soon starts to suspect that the man he’s working for may not have such humanitarian interests at heart.

Simply put, this movie was over the top nonsense which left a lot of plot points unexplained and leaves the viewer a little confused when it reaches it’s conclusion. In spite of these tiny facts, this was still a reasonably enjoyable action romp, and any movie in which you get to see Halle Berry topless can’t be all that bad now, can it?
