Review of Swordfish

Swordfish (2001)
7/10
good if you just take it as entertainment
21 July 2008
I am wondering where the career of director Dominic Sena goes. After having done 'Kalifornia' and 'Gone in sixty seconds' he did 'Swordfish' and then just seemed to disappear. I am curios to see his latest 'Whiteout' which seems to have been released in June, but I heard nothing about it.

Anyway, he is a director who really knows how to direct action movies, and none of the three films I mentioned bored me, on the contrary, they were quite well done, had pace, enjoyed the participation of good actors - overall good entertainment. 'Swordfish' is no exception to all these, on the other hand one can ask a few questions about credibility of many of the scenes, as well as about the moral values of the character played by John Travolta, but overall when you have Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry near Travolta in the cast you cannot go too wrong. Take it as entertainment and good chances are that you'll enjoy it.

So, where are you, Mr. Sena?
