 You can use brain in the first 10 minutes of the movie but afterwards do not try to find anything more than growing body count. Overall its a fun ride. Great explosions. The biggest one has been filmed in slow motion, which is fun to watch. There are some great snappy dialogues too. The movie starts with a nice commentary on cheesiness of today's cinema. Halle barry shows her breast(250 thousands dollar each) but I couldn't get any sense of excitement about it. She as well be a statue. Overall nice high tech ride about a super spy and the best hacker in the world.
I think that JT had a new challenge here - and he handled it pretty well - no crime here, or anything remotely un-ethical. Lets give some prayer for the living, eh? cheers,

Ok, John was some weird mf in this one...and there was a lot of violence....was there some delivery here? I hope so.
I'll never trust another newspaper review of a film again. Almost everything I read was negative. But I found this to be an action packed, intelligent thriller of a film. John Travolta is at his bad guy best in a subtle' is he or isn't he pure evil' performance. Halle Barry has got to be one of the most beautiful woman on the planet, the camera loves her, all of her. She gives the best performance I've seen her give in "SWORDFISH". And don't even get me started on Hugh Jackman. He came to most peoples attention as 'Wolverine' in "X-MEN". This men has so much talent and charisma there should be a law! And as Diane Sawyer of 'ABC's Good Morning America said, "He's so handsome!". Yes he's got it all. And shows off most of it in "SWORDFISH". Some (read woman) may find "SWORDFISH" a bit testosterone driven. You know the old 'my gun is bigger than your gun' thing. "SWORDFISH" is still a very enjoyable film in an over the top 'you've never seen it done like this' kind of way. I liked it.
