Swordfish

This movie is NOT in DTS-MA !!Amazon is pretty good about making sure its products are listed correctly, but this one is not. I bought this one specifically for the DTS-MA audio, but it is the same audio as the BluRay for sale at less than half the price. I will be returning this mis-represented disc.

The DVD does not play on American dvds

Swordfish DVD

This is probably the worst film I've ever watched! A bigger load of ol' rubbish I couldn't imagine. Violence for the sake of it, and the plot - what plot?SPOILER ALERT!: a giant helicopter strategically-placed over the streets of the city, in order to lift an entire bus filled with poor, innocent people with explosives strapped to them. This was when John Travolta was to escape, but what a stroke of luck the helicopter was there at that moment! The bus then transported through streets, dangling upright, with folk inside miraculously hanging on, even though the bus crashed at least once against a skyscraper. Finally, the bus is deposited atop another 'scraper, where a smaller helicopter conveniently awaits to carry Travolta away - or did it? - ah, there's the question! Travolta, if you ever have to escape a second time in like manner, make sure you hire a helicopter pilot who can operate the first machine more competently. Did he ever pass his flying test?By the way, can you please supply me with the name of the person who installed the lifting eyes in that bus to which the first 'copter's hooks were attached? I want to ensure I don't hire him, as one of them obviously came adrift.If you have money to burn, this is the DVD to buy!

Artived in prime next day delivery as anticipated. Bought iniatially to rewatch after a while. centres around hugh jackman a computer hacker is offered a chance to rebuild his future from spy whos hellbent on getting him to hack a goverment amount from illegal funds,intriguig from start,tricksey made thriller,plot requires close inspection,good adrenalin action,some turns,things not all there seem. Sexy leads,shhot em up,voilence,

Possibly the best first 8 minutes I've seen in a long while kick this off. The club scene, wrong but weirdly sexy.Other reviews have told you the outline so as with many of my reviews I won't bother!You will need to pay attention to the plot to or you will end up wondering what the hell is going on. Yes the hacking is very movie style but it keeps the action skipping along. The club scene, wrong but weirdly sexy.Jackman, Berry and Cheadle handle themselves very well.I was less convinced with Travolta. It's so hard to play bad guys with charm and not seem like you're overplaying it..so it loses a star.You may like it if you enjoyed Hackers and felt it needed prettier people and more guns or enjoyed the look of Gone in 60 Seconds but felt it needed an actual story.

Thank you for the delivery Amazon !!Good casting .. Not so good movie.Back in the day i remember this movie a bit better but watching it again now .. it didn't aged well .. sadly.Still watchable though :)

A film that makes you change your regular Starbucks order whilst engageing with the new world order of terrorism and state funded counter terrorism - how bad can it be? Well neither good nor bad. Travolta is terrific - isnt he always - but the rest of the cast and the direction let the engageing plot down in a big way...Good attempt - worth a watch - but could have been something...
