Pros: Wait. I'm still thinking. Special effects, Flashy cinematography , the opening scene, Martin Cons: Pacing uneven, the dead horse is battered mercilessly
Sports fans! This flick has zilch to do with sitting on that boat with your feet up, waiting for the big one to latch on to your line. Well, maybe it does. Hook line and sinker are words that do apply. The question is, who is the fish?

Pros: HALLE BERRY'S BOOBS, some action scenes Cons: Not enough action scenes or boobs
Yes, the sole reason for going to SWORDFISH was to see some skin. There is no shame in my game, and there is no shame in the baring of what had yet been flashed on screen. The breasts of one pretty and talented actress, Halle Berry.
Was she...
Pros: Airborne bus; slick car chase; Halle Berry Cons: Is there anything in this movie which is NOT ludicrous?
“You know the problem with Hollywood is? They make $hit.”
You know, Gabriel Shear (John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever) is right. For many years, Hollywood has been producing a lot of $hit. $hit like Swordfish....
Pros: Lots of action, some cool special effects Cons: Halle Berry topless (seriously)
Swordfish is your typical Hollywood computer movie - completely unbelievable and far-fetched. The actors are shown using Dell computers with Apple keyboards and mice (probably because the Apple boards look cooler). People are able to hack into systems...
Pros: great action, Halle's tickets to fame. Cons: the plot is ludicrous.
In a summer that is going to be overrun by man eating dinosaurs, angry apes, goofy aliens, Japanese bombers, green ogres, mummies, tomb raiders, photo realistic people, cats and dogs, and Wayans brothers, it's nice to have a film like...
When I first saw the cast listing of Swordfish, I had to admit that I was impressed. John Travolta, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Hugh Jackman have all done incredible work in the past. All are terrific actors with great stage presence. I am happy to say...
Pros: An enjoyable will keep your attention summer flick. Cons: Some surprising moments, on the whole predictable.
What can I say about this movie except it's all action? I like movies with good plot, good characterization, and feeling that I've come away maybe even learning something new. In Swordfish although I did not get much of any of this, I did enjoy it....
Pros: Intense, fast-paced action-adventure Cons: High-tech cyber-babble - and it drags in the middle
"You know, the problem with Hollywood is that they make s**t," says Gabriel Shear (John Travolta) as this enigmatic cyber-crime caper opens. In a rambling monologue, he rants on about how films, particularly "Dog Day Afternoon," lack realism,...
Pros: Decent to great action, Jackman, Cheadle and (sigh) Halle Berry Cons: John Travolta’s “look” gets odder and lamer with every film
It takes a somewhat brave film to start with a discussion of the crap that Hollywood churns out, especially a film that never pretends to be intelligent or particularly original. Given that the person uttering these lines is John Travolta, who hasn’t...
Pros: Hugh Jackman and John Travolta give good performances Cons: Movie was a little too predictable
I decided to go see this movie on opening night for some unknown reason (Ok, it's known, my wife and brother wanted to see it, but the unknown thing sounds better), and this little movie didn't disappoint. Now, before I go any further, I want to remind...
Pros:Opening scene is just amazing! Keeps your attention. Cons:Could have been a tad more understandable but nothing major.
I am writing this review for Swordfish because I believe in this movie very strongly. It changed the way that I looked at movies and most importantly, it surprised me. I have to admit that after I saw the atrocious performance of John...
Pros: A little solid cinematography, Halle Berry partially clothed... Cons: The film thinks it is more clever than it is.
I just moved to Seattle recently and in the process of looking around town for work have managed to catch a few movies in the theaters. Based on a decent looking trailer and the fact that I enjoyed watching Hugh Jackman in the last flick he was in, I...
Pros: action, plot, awesome explosion scenes and all that Cons: if you don't understand hacking you'll be slightly lost, but just go with the flow
This was basically a typical action film with all the gun fights, explosions, fatalities and body dismemberments that you would normally expect. Unlike some other action movies, this one has an interesting, yet somewhat unrealistic, plot. Despite the...
Pros: Exciting, slick, fast paced, and well acted movie. Cons: Not a lot I can think of.
~ ~ Okay. I have to own up right at the start to being a big fan of John Travolta, especially when he’s playing “bad guys”, which he does to perfection in this latest offering from Director Dominic Sena, who was also responsible for Nicholas Cage’s last...
Pros: Nifty action scenes. Good performances from Travolta and Jackman. Cons: Silly and done-to-death representation of computer hacking. A bit shallow.
Those of you who regularly read my movie Epinions will know I am not one to follow the mass opinion blindly. The critics can pan all they like. The movie can have an overall rating of 20% recommended here on Epinions. The simple fact remains, if I had...
