Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 13 Swordfish (2001 film) is a less good to outright awful action thriller that wastes a strong cast on a messy and over-stylized story. The film tries to present itself as a slick, high-tech heist movie, but it ends up feeling more like style over substance with very little real payoff. John Travolta plays an over-the-top antagonist, but the performance feels more cartoonish than threatening. Hugh Jackman is given a potentially interesting role, yet his character is pushed through a plot that doesn’t make much sense or build real tension. Even Halle Berry, despite her presence, can’t elevate the weak writing and uneven pacing. The film relies heavily on flashy visuals and shock value instead of a coherent or engaging narrative. The hacking and tech elements feel dated and unrealistic, even for its time, which makes it harder to stay invested. Overall, it’s a disappointing action film with a weak story and style that overwhelms substance. I’d rate it a 2/10.

However, John Travolta and Halle Berry are top class, while Hugh Jackman clearly shows he can’t do character acting which is a spoiler when he is in a scene. In the film Gabriel talks about an alternative ending to one or two films he had seen. And I agree with such sentiment because Stanley is in fact a felon, an accomplice to murder and a murderer himself so he should have been arrested a sent to jail.
