"You know what the problem with Hollywood is? They make shit. Unbelievable, unremarkable shit." So says Gabriel (John Travolta) in Swordfish (2001), but does this assessment apply to his own movie?
Cast your mind back to June 2001, the hairdos were wild, the pants were leather, the tips were frosted and terrorism and vehicles smashing into buildings were something freely depicted onscreen. 😬
Starring John Travolta with some...questionable facial choices, a baby-faced Hugh Jackman and the star of our miniseries, Halle Berry! In the thick of her capable kickass heroine era, will she actually get something to do or just deliver more bad lines in a sexy but aloof way?
Rogue agent Gabriel Shear is determined to get his mitts on $9 billion stashed in a secret Drug Enforcement Administration account. He wants the cash to fight terrorism, but lacks the computer skills necessary to hack into the government mainframe. Enter Stanley Jobson, a n’er-do-well encryption expert who can log into anything.
Join us as we dive in to see if this is a Swordfish or more of a Spoonfish.
