Look, if you are here in 2018 or after trying to figure out whether you should watch this, you know exactly what you want to watch. You want to watch a movie with Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and John Travolta, some silly 2001 hacking montage, and a fun thriller. This movie has it. Don't think too hard, its a fun movie.

So here's the thing , this is an absolute action thriller movie , very nicely directed and well planned. The actors have done really nice job. This movie should be rated more. I enjoyed every this movie very much. Yes ! this is one of the underrated movies. Last half hour is more interesting though as the movie is reaching it's climax. The movie is filled with surprises things happen out of nowhere and then you see the movie then you have a " Big Oh " moment.There is one thing 'the hacking scenes' . That was most unrealistic thing I have ever seen. People typing gibberish , for five times it will show 'access denied' after 10 seconds and numerous attempts, it will show 'access granted' . I mean what the hell . With all crazy intense music and people hacking stuffs made me laugh ,for real. But I can understand, on those days people didn't knew about hacking , so they used to give that a pass. Anyone who don't know about computers would give it a pass! The action scenes are really cool ,they have worked a lot on that part of movie.The movie contains nudity and profanity.This movie can hold audiences for long time and it will be enjoyable movie for all.

Could have been a good movie. But a movie with a crime plot, cyber and law subplots shouldn't get all the details wrong. Errors included citing the wrong constitutional amendments and using the wrong law enforcement agencies. Although the acting was pretty good, the characters actions were counter-intuitive, thus creating distance between the characters and the audience. As a result, the movie quickly grew implausible and therefore tedious. They needed better technical consultants and tighter writing. Perhaps a little research before finalizing the script would have uncovered the errors. We deserve better.

2001, the year of Kubrick's very unprophetic Space Odyssey, (:p) turned out to be a cynical and sleazy time, where movie companies were happily cashing in on the idea of Matrix-like techno thrillers. In "Swordfish" (2001), John Travolta stars as a man with a terrible hairpiece who is weirdly self-conscious about the fact that he is in a movie and basically goes about being a total arrogant jerk. Hugh Jackman stars as the poor foil for all of Travolta's hijinks, some of which are laughably sexual. Check the Parents Guide for those details. Halle Berry and John Travolta spend most of the time patronising Hugh Jackman. There's a lot of raised eyebrows, knowing glances. Its all very schoolyard and not very sophisticated. Halle Berry is weird in this. She's got her boobs out, which is nice. Worth the infamous paycheck? Dunno. She gives this weird kind of serpentine performance that is just upsetting, almost to the level of Elizabeth "Showgirls" Berkley.Still, the movie is slick and fun, even in 2015. It's mainly saved by Hugh Jackman, who is, as always, eminently likable. The overall tone of "Swordfish" I put somewhere between smarmy and patronising. Its got that cocky assurance that comes from being a self-aware techno-thriller that came out just before the bubble of The Matrix was burst by all those revolutions. Yes it was a hit, but it was so cynically designed to be a hit that time has forgotten about it, now that computer hacking is more a nuisance than a source of novelty and excitement.Enjoyable as a time capsule, and an example of a hit movie made without superheroes. And for that awkward topless scene that only sort of makes sense in context. Fans of Hugh Jackman will not be disappointed, of course. He is in it, after all.
