Synopsis .

The film centres on Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman), an ex-con and computer hacker who is targeted by Gabriel Shear (John Travolta) for recruitment into a bank robbery conspiracy because of his formidable hacking skills. [Wikipedia]. Some critics’ comments:

“An adrenaline fueled thrill ride, Swordfish is full of action and suspense”;

“Swordfish is made with demonstrable skill and enthusiasm, and it’s so improbable in its particulars that most viewers in the mood to do so will be able to kick back and enjoy it as shoot-’em-up entertainment.”
