Swordfish

The usual suspects

Overcomplicated plot but plenty of pyrotechnics and undressing to keep you mildly amused.

Nigel Bell

If you haven't heard of the film you're probably aware of the hype surrounding female lead Halle Berry.

She apparently got an extra half a million dollars to bare her breasts.

Shrewd dealing by the film's producers. It's bound to fill a few more cinema seats although those keen to see young Berry's assets had better stay alert. Blink and you'll miss them.

Smile. We're earning a fortune

If Halle Berry's there to woo the men, then Travolta and Jackman should satisfy the women.

The Travolta renaissance continues. Another lead role in another blockbuster. Jackman is back alongside Berry after their last appearance together in X-Men.

As to the film itself, it's directed by Dominic Sena, whose last outing was Gone in 60 Seconds. That movie had plenty of car chases and explosions, Swordfish follows the formula.

Greased lightning

It's a complicated enough plot involving a computer heist, some spies and Vinnie Jones as a heavy. Nothing new there then.

The film's piece de resistance is a 360-degree shot of an explosion, so good it's shown twice. Let's not say repeat, how about another chance to see!

This is your typical Hollywood big bang blockbuster. Those behind Swordfish must hope it does well in its opening weeks because in all probability it'll be swallowed up come the release of Final Fantasy and Planet of the Apes.

3/5
