I just saw Swordfish. What an utterly fantastic movie. The acting was mediocre, the plot revolved around a dimly hidden twist, and the technical stuff was atrocious - worse, even, than in Hackers. Really, the jargon was fantastically entertaining, the computer-screen effects were very similar to those in Hackers - it all came together to make a very funny movie indeed. Perhaps the finest moment, however, was the first twenty seconds, in which John Travolta declares that Hollywood makes crap. Exquisite irony. All
the hilarious foolishness aside, it was actually a decently entertaining movie. If you're one to get annoyed by technical faux-pas then you might do well to avoid it.
