Thriller-Stanley Jobson has just been released from prison. Stanley is a computer hacker. So if he ever touches a computer, or his daughter Holly living with his divorced wife, again, he'll go to jail for good. But when Ginger shows up at his house, he decides to go with her to meet her boss, Gabriel Shear, who needs to transfer over $9 billion from an unused government account, codenamed Swordfish, to accounts. However, Agent Roberts, who arrested Stanley the first time, is hot on his trail again and would do anything to catch him. Senator Reisman is also helping Gabriel out in some way. Now Stanley must hack into the files while trying to stay away from the law, getting his daughter back, and avoiding temptation from Ginger.
7/10-Wow. Dominic Sena (Gone in 60 Seconds) really worked hard for this one. He might have tried too hard. There were some minor plot holes that I really didn't care about, but the action scenes were tremendous. There were a few too many slow spots, but the action scenes were great. If you need to hook a viewer on, you need a first scene like this movie. We don't see too many movies like this, and it's a good thing it came.
Rated R for language, violence, and nudity.
