Swordfish (DVD) Reviews

Released in 2001, Swordfish is an action-packed movie that has all the elements of what would make up an explosive big screen hit. Ironically, despite the A-list casting, big action sequences and Halle's knockers making a cameo, it failed miserably at the US box office. The movie opens with Gabriel Shear's (John Travolta) diatribe about ...

After being released, he lives in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, knowing that if he ever touches a computer again he will be arrested. One day a women shows up, Ginger, at his trailer ...

I love John Travolta and have seen this film around three times now. As long as you leave a good gap in between, I have found that there are lots of things I had forgotten about and therefore re-enjoyed this film every time. Gabrielle Shear is a secret renegade counter-terrorist and is trying to get the world's top hacker to get into a ...

The cast in this high octane action thriller is really strong as are the special effects that are used throughout the film but in particular the opening scene which has an excellent slow motion explosion which is very powerful. Hugh Jackman stars as a retired computer hacker who is coerced into helping the super smooth John Travolta ...

Swordfish is the high-tech computer hacking crime thriller from director Dominic Sena. An all star cast heads it up in this fast-paced thriller from 2001. The Plot Stanley Jobson is one of the world's most accomplished hackers. Following a prison sentence, he is living a life of relative seclusion and is forbidden to touch a ...

Swordfish is a fast paced thriller with an impressive cast and some really impressive special effects, it is also one of my boyfriends favourite films as he gets to see Halle Berry jublies which made him very happy even if I do think mine are better. The film stars Hugh Jackman as a down and out former criminal computer hacker living in ...

Stanley Jobson is a former world-class computer hacker. Following a prison sentence, Jobson is on parole, and lives a paltry existence, sleeping and eating in a rusty old trailer van, forbidden to access any computer system. One evening, Stanley is visited at home by a beautiful young woman, Ginger, who advises that her employer is interested in ...

Loads of hip, up to date stuff about PC's, featuring Huge Ackman, Johnty ravolta and Allan Berry - This is one of those big hyped up blockbusters which transfer so lovingly onto the Sky Premier channel giving us endless hours of pleasure on a Saturday night when they;re run over and over and over again. Mr Travolta is ...

The lithe body of Halle Berry was fearlessly exploited in the latest James Bond flick in a nod back to the Sixties and Ursula Andress rising from the oceans in Dr No. It was a shame for Ms Berry is undoubtedly a very gifted actress, but she is almost certainly going to be better known for flashing her bits than spouting lines from Hamlet. Take ...

Swordfish is a really terrible film. If you've seen the posters promising a tale of hacking and cyber crime, alarm bells should have been ringing. If you've been aware of pre-publicity that Halle Berry flashes her tits then you should know its time to evacuate the building. If they have to hang the publicity on a cheap thrill, ...

If you like James Bond, your going to love this film. Special effects are THE BEST, its worth buying this dvd just for the explosion scene at the start of the film. Its as star studded as it's action packed with John travolta, hugh jackman, halle berry, and don cheadle all putting in a great performance. the Plot moves along ...

1. Do you like spectacular action movies? 2. And what if behind-the-scenes team (production designer, cameraman, special effects co-ordinator) is the same as that for ??Gone in 60 seconds??. Not convinced yet 3. What if the producer (Joel Silver) is acclaimed for ??The Matrix?? and ??Face Off??? Now I see eyebrows raising 4. ...

Swordfish is one of the oddest action-adventure thrillers of the year. It starts out with one of the main characters, Gabriel [John Travolta], drinking coffee at a table with a couple of other guys. He is telling them his theories about how an old Al Pacino thriller named Dog Day Afternoon would have been a more honest movie if the bad guy had ...

Fade In: The Warner Bros logo comes into view, distorted by video interferance. A slight electro music score tells us that something is looming, something big and possibly dangerous. Gabriel Shear (early 40's) fills the screen, he looks cool, in control. The kind of man who lives for danger and power. He addresses ...

~ ~ 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 action picture, “Gone In 60 Seconds”. I used to hate ...

John Travolta, one of my personal favourite actors, looks as if he’s tired of fame once again, and seems to be flirting with the idea of obscurity for the third time in his 27 year career, but it makes no difference anymore; coz John could make a million ‘Battlefield Earths’, bankrupt Hollywood, Dianetic bash the world, and still ...

Swordfish One of the reasons I like DVD and Home Cinema so much is, with equipment permitting, you can achieve similar and just as enjoyable results of watching movies in your own home as you could down your local multiplex. My nearest (read as decent) multiplex is a good 30+ miles away or the equivalent of a £5 bus fare or more in petrol ...

To say I was blown away by this controversial film would be understating it. I suggested it to my husband after reading an excellent review here. I didn’t expect to like it myself, with it being an all-action, car chases, explosions, bursting with testosterone type of film. But I was hooked from the first minute. The plot, put ...
