Swordfish Reviews
Cool explosions are the best thing here.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 28, 2010
It's a good thing the action is noisily distracting, because you don't want any down-time in which to ponder the plausibility, or the sense, of anything that is happening.

Another in a long line of middling movies for Travolta.

Techno tosh, but fitfully great fun all the same.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2001
Simply too inane to be anything more than a formulaic Hollywood blockbuster.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2001
The story ... is just what fills in the gaps between slow-motion fireballs, Matrix-style frozen mayhem, and Halle Berry's notoriously undraped breasts.

The sleazy script by Skip Woods ... slimes the actors.

The movie tries for a vibe that is cool, amoral, and ambiguous, but what it gets is a vibe that is manipulative and insincere.

An action opera designed to elicit Beavis and Butt-head-level appreciation.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 8, 2001
Nobody really cares about the plot, least of all the filmmakers.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 8, 2001
The kind of movie where glass-smashing in slow motion serves the same function as extended guitar solos did in '70s rock concerts.

My inner jock left hungry for some good final jolts.

Sena doesn't back up his bravado and, indeed, his film is rather flushable.
| Jun 8, 2001
All this excess, leading to nothing much.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 8, 2001
Feels like every other action thriller we've seen in the past three years, only it's more annoying.
| Jun 8, 2001
By the seventh explosion, you can't help wondering whether all this flashy stuff amounts to more of a smokescreen shielding a lack of spine or soul.
| Jun 8, 2001
A film that reeks of stupidity and cynicism, one that makes you feel soiled just to have sat through it.

Truthfully, it's all twaddle.
