The New York Times
Turns into a meticulously choreographed bang-by-the-numbers action fantasy that I would accuse of peddling evil if the film weren't so dumb and incoherent.
Full reviewHugh Jackman leads this 2001 crime thriller as a talented hacker brought in by a rogue agent (John Travolta) with a desire to fight terrorism on his own terms. The plan? Steal $9 billion dollars from the DEA's secret account. Co-stars Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and the late, great Sam Shepard.
Turns into a meticulously choreographed bang-by-the-numbers action fantasy that I would accuse of peddling evil if the film weren't so dumb and incoherent.
Full reviewJohn Travolta attempts to recapture some of his former cool in "Swordfish," a half-absorbing, half-ridiculous techno-thriller that often goes too far in audience-rousing effects.
Full review"Swordfish" looks like the result of a nasty explosion down at the Plot Works. It's skillfully mounted and fitfully intriguing, but weaves such a tangled web that at the end I defy anyone in the audience to explain the exact loyalties and motives of the leading characters.
Full reviewSwordfish is available to stream in Australia now on Stan and Google Play and Apple TV and Prime Video Store.
