 Swordfish Swordfish Quote: Swordfish is a 2001 crime-thriller film, directed by Dominic Sena and starring John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones. The film is an action thriller that was also popular for containing Halle Berry's first topless scene. It centers around Stanley Jobson, a ex-con computer hacker who is targeted for recruitment into a bank robbery conspiracy because of his formidable hacking skills. Pretty freakin' great. AHeh. I know I'm so getting trashed for that. :tongue:

Eh, it wasn't that bad. I would've liked it a little more if the movie got publicity for anything other than Halle Berry agreeing to go topless for 5 seconds. Still though, reasonably entertaining. C+

Meh. It was a pretty ok movie with a good premise but the ending was ridiculous, and it kinda falls flat. The two main actors are good in their parts, but Halle Berry has not got much to do other than get naked(she is very hot but that's besides the point!). C

Very average - blah! (Except, of course, for that awesome bomb scene at the beginning...)
2 out of 5.

Nice to see off the bat you already have good taste.
Terrible movie, and even worse marketing scema. It dragged, it rhuminated where there was nothing to philosophize about, and all the acting was atrocious. It was outright one of the worst female charecterizations I've ever seen on the part of Berry's role as well. It made me laugh, it made me cry, but neither intentionally or at proper points in the movie.

What a great and amazingly-styled action movie. We don't get many like this one anymore nowadays sadly. The action scenes are well-staged and executed. The explosion at the beginning is ingeniously impressive. Hugh Jackman is good in his action role, but John Travolta was the highlight, in my opinion. He does what he can do best - be an amazing villain like in Face Off. Halle Bery is certainly...eh...impressive too, hehe. I did have some gripes with the movie's ending and the plentiful plot holes throughout, but it was still one of the most entertaining movies in 2001 and one of Joel Silver's best.

Re: Swordfish I don't remember almost anything that happened in the second half of this movie, but I do remember that the first half had Halle Berry's tits and Hugh Jackman getting a blowjob while hacking into something. So everything that came after just failed to impress.

Re: Swordfish I loved it.. Halle Berry has a nice set of tits and a great ass in this movie.. It's strictly a guy's movie and naturally, women will be turned off by it, but so what?? The bombing in the beginning was EPIC along with Berry's ass and tits make me give this movie the highest grade..
