Swordfish is a collision of rock-dumb early 2000’s action aesthetics with this new thing called “the internet” (ever heard of it?). A menacing John Travolta pressures good-hearted hacker Hugh Jackman into helping him heist 10 billion for the government – but is that all he wants?

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Jackman’s version of hacking, which involves a surprising amount of dancing and red wine. Meanwhile, Travolta takes his first steps into “shaved head cackling villainy” (his main late-career mode) and Halle Berry gets a rumored extra $500k for cinema’s most gratuitous topless scene. Directed by Dominic Sena who went from Janet Jackson music videos to Gone in 60 Seconds to this, and written by the man responsible for both the worst Die Hard movie AND the worst Wolverine movie, Swordfish may not earn your respect, but it’s a lot of goofy fun.
