Ignore the Amazon editorial review and all the other reader reviews. I don’t want to spoil this movie for you by telling you too distinguished about the space or describing in perfect detail some of the best scenes in the movie but what I will relate you is…
1) Yes, it’s legal, Dominic Sena’s last directorial concern Gone In Sixty Seconds was a MAJOR dissapointment BUT SWORDFISH ISN’T!!! It’s a expedient movie!

2) Travolta is good
3) Halle Berry is good
4) Don Cheadle is underused and
5) Hugh Jackman is a major star in the making.

6) The now deplorable scene of Halle Berry topless was probably unnecessary and perhaps gratuitous (but hey, she’s a superb looking woman with a generous body) . Sorry, did I say favorable? I meant titanic…but if this is the only reason why you’d spy this movie, then you really do need to net a life.
7) This was one of the better films of the summer.
It is neither formulaic nor does it lack ambition. Unlike most movies of this genre it challenges it’s audience to excercise the outmoded grey matter and it’s got a half-decent twist.

Sure it has some faults, like did they rush out of money for FX when they shot the scene of the bus landing on the roof? And the change of flow and edit from past events relieve to point to was badly belief out and jarred a bit. BUT you know what? I liked this movie and the directorial set-piece that everybody wants to spoil for you by describing it to you in every detail is suited. I only wish the moviemakers had been able to hold that extra step and made a stout rather than advantageous movie. Win some popcorn, kick abet and indulge in this one on a Saturday night at home in front of the TV…
“Swordfish” opens with John Travolta facing toward the camera, looking contemplative and addressing his off-screen audience. The quandary with Hollywood, his character Gabriel dryly suggests, is that it doesn’t push the envelope enough. With all that cinematic potential, say like with “Dog Day Afternoon, why have a pointless,(mostly) harmless bank robbery when you could query how far the cops would go in being uncooperative if Pacino started killing hostages? The dilemma, Gabriel is told, is that audiences like joyful endings and that such tales are morality plays – the awful guy has to lose.
It’s an funny moment, and it sets up “Swordfish” as a counterpoint to that line of reasoning. The movie plays as a postmodern (and by post-modern I mean post-Tarantino) action film, cutting the audience objective enough gradual for them to determine whether or not they want to root for the dreadful guy, who is most certainly Gabriel. The film’s message, beyond the drive of the space, is that the audiences root for the terrible guy. Whether or not they want/would allow him to obtain is tested on-screen by Hugh Jackman, playing the “everyman” with distinct talents that pull him into Gabriel’s high-stakes world.
Unfortunately, “Swordfish” suffers from its fill cleverness, mighty in the same blueprint people disliked Mission: Impossible or LA Confidential. There are twists and turns galore, and every other character is not who they appear to be. “Swordfish”, though, doesn’t quite pull it off. At one point, Gabriel talks about the greatness of Harry Houdini and the art of misdirection, which serves as a scheme for this movie. The audience sees what Hugh Jackman’s Stanley sees – the misdirection, and there’s so great of it that it becomes an exhaust in dizziness trying to juggle all the details. In this respect, the magician’s trick works. However, as a film, it leaves the viewer more confused than amused, more glum than impressed, and not caring enough about what happens to the characters since they don’t really know who the characters REALLY are at any given moment.

Still, through it all is Gabriel, who may or may not be any number of things. It doesn’t affect how he acts, though, and noteworthy of the fun in “Swordfish” is watching Travolta revisit familiar and confident territory as the wisecracking heavy. In fact, the strength of “Swordfish” is truly found in the performances. Even as the location unfolds with its minute of hand, there’s enough inspect candy and wry humor there to effect for an delightful film. Don Cheadle and Hugh Jackman are astronomical, playing it all with a straight face (indispensable to beget an action film work), and Vinnie Jones stops by to recognize menacing though he is not given nearly enough to do.
“Swordfish” is a tough bag to reel in. It is an ambitious action film that doesn’t quite become what it wants to be and, in failing, leaves worthy of the audience in its thrashing wake. For recommendations sake, if you disliked “The Usual Suspects” or “Mission: Impossible” because of their labyrinthine, snaking plots, you will probably not luxuriate in “Swordfish”. If you liked “Ronin” or “Broken Arrow” because of their pacing and performances, you will probably salvage a kick out of “Swordfish”. The movie never quite gives the audience enough to believe whether Gabriel or his dissenters are factual, but it positive has a lot of fun trying to content the goods. A just summer film, and a friendly popcorn film for those in need of one.
