Review of Swordfish (2001) by James T — 06 Oct 2018

The film has style to spare and is soaked in action but the plot is really dull. There was a better film here and Travolta almost saves this from being an utter bore. The opening explosion scene is incredible and only sets the scene for a film that isn't like that.

There are multiple action scenes and a chase down the hill that is just as insane as some of the plotting. Sena has yet to prove his filmmaker abilities, the only reason this film is bearable is the cast, they bring the depth not the filmmaker.

You can't see where brings a style or tone, it just looks like a producers product. Enjoyed the conclusion and the beginning, the rest of the film is pure fodder. 06/10/2018.
