    A souped-up roadster of a film, a relentless action flick that looks great and moves with more grace and speed than seems possible.

    If you like stuff breaking in THX, Swordfish delivers like no other this year. Bring earplugs.

    Not all cartoon violence; there's cartoon nudity, too. Berry was paid a well-publicized $500,000 bonus to bare her breasts in the movie.

    There are thrills to be had, like the Chopper carrying the bus in the air and THe car chase with the TVR. There's also the club-esque attitude of the atmosphere, and a sleek stylish feel, with a house soundtrack to match. Unfortunately, horrendously incoherent writing and atrocious dialogue, ultimately derail Swordfish from being good, rendering it an incoherent mess with worthy moments and a touch of style. Overall, maybe worth a watch, if you can enjoy the grimness and the junkish attitude.… Expand

    A convoluted plot that I did not understand, waste of good talent on this flick... a nice rental but I would not pay full price to see it.
