Swordfish

This movie tries to be clever, but is really just an average action flick with an unbelievable plot. John Travolta is excellent in his role and Halle Berry is gorgeous, naturally, but the movie itself lacks a certain something. The basic idea seems to be that you have to fight terrorism with terrorism, but the actual execution of the plot is so twisted that you are left at the end saying “huh?”. I think the writer was aiming for a “Usual Suspects” kind of ending, but fails rather spectacularly to achieve anything remotely that brilliant. (*)
