SWORDFISH (2000)

DOMINIC SENA

Plot

Stanley is the ultimate computer hacker and his particular skills are required by super smooth, super ruthless covert agent, Gabriel; while only a determined FBI stand in the men's way to commit the largest government theft in history. Swordfish is very slick, with some top shelf action scenes but it's also appallingly scripted and the plot seems have escaped it's writer and run amok pretty soon after the opening ten minutes. This is still high octane entertainment, but be under no illusion...it's not good (has some pretty spooky associations with the world trade centre bombing though).
