Review of Swordfish (2001) by Saravanan T — 22 Dec 2009
Loved this movie! Clever ideas and some good suspenseful acting. Hally Berry became my goddess after seeing this piece :) - (2002 review).
Ok, So I decided to rewatch this flick, since it was originally deemed on of my favorites back in 2002. Well, turns out there isn't much happening for this gem. It's basically an over-the-top hacker/action flick with very little emphasis on a proper plot.
Many elements for each character seem to develop quickly and unexpectedly, yet have very little else for the character progression. Basically, we discover a plethora of facts about the main character, yet very little of these facts is actually relevant to the main plot.
Furthermore, there are too many hollywood-twists and turns popping their heads up throughout the movie. Even the last sentence in the entire movie confused me. I am no longer aware if the villian is a bad guy or good guy... im confused by the ending, and because of this I subtract 1.5 stars. (12/22/09).
