Review of Swordfish

Swordfish (2001)
8/10
Entertaining and exciting.
26 January 2002
This movie about terrorism and computer hacking is definitely worth watching. Travolta is excellent as an ex-CIA agent trying to fight terrorism using terrorist ways (i.e. bombing, etc.). But to do that he needs money and decide to steal it from the US government. Add to that a hint of political intrigue and a few unexpected but brilliant stunts and you've got a really entertaining movie.

Fortunately this movie was release before 11th September 2001, otherwise its release would certainly have been re-scheduled to a later date. But since terrorism is rather a hot news at the moment, the movie could not have come at a better date. Keeping in mind that this is a fictional movie, the initial idea would seem quite appealing to some. But whatever the current political situation this movie contains enough bounces to entertain even the most choosy spectators.
