While some may want to dismiss this movie as a typical cyber-thriller about hackers and government agents, I found it to be above average and very watchable. Some have also accused it of having heavy sexual content, but in reality there's only one scene in which a sex act takes place, and it's without nudity. Halle Berry does appear sans top in one other scene, but no sex is involved and in a R rated movie it's not to be unexpected. That being said, it's not a film for the entire family.
There are some violent scenes, but once again, Swordfish does not pretend to be a family feature. The opening scene is particularly good, and the final chase has a new slant. That alone is unique, for how many times have you seen anything original in chase scenes?
I've read elsewhere there really was an operation Swordfish, so there may actually be some authenticity buried in this movie. I should add that I'm not the biggest Travolta fan, but he's very good in this...
