First of all, this movie makes me think that John Travolta was born to play a high-IQ crime boss, with every smile and convincing cunning. Secondly, the 360-degree explosion visual effect at the beginning of the movie is really shocking. The beginning of the film actually starts with talking about the movie. The beginning of a crime movie starts with "talking about the movie" itself, which is amazing! The scene makes people think it is a party chat, but it is a crime scene! First intense picture, then gentle narrative! This kind of impact comparison is really admirable! Hugh Jackman and Harry Berry's rivals are jokingly known for their friendship. As an old movie from 15 years ago, it is still enjoyable to watch now. Especially, when the proposition "if you kill one innocent person can save the lives of ten other innocent people, can this person die" in a lighthearted tone, the philosophical and even political metaphors in it It goes without saying. A rare "bad guy" "victory" work. Of course, if you still want to see Hugh Jackman being "bited" and Harry Berry's dew point, this is the eye-catching part.

Swordfish quotes

  • Axl Torvalds: He exists in a world beyond your world. What we only fantasize, he does. He lives a life where nothing is beyond him. But you know what? It's all a facade. For all his charm and charisma, his wealth, his expensive toys... he's a driven, unflinching, calculating machine. He takes what he wants, when he wants... and disappears.

  • Stanley: How can you justify all this?

    Gabriel: You're not looking at the big picture Stan. Here's a scenario. You have the power to cure all the world's diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child, could you kill that child Stanley?

    Stanley: No.

    Gabriel: You disappoint me, it's the greatest good.

    Stanley: Well how about 10 innocents?

    Gabriel: Now you're gettin' it, how about a hundred - how about a THOUSAND? Not to save the world but to preserve our way of life.

    Stanley: No man has the right to make that decision; you're no different from any other terrorist.

    Gabriel: No, you're wrong Stanley. Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them? You give your twenty dollars to Greenpeace every year thinking you're changing the world? What countries will harbor terrorists when they realize the consequences of what I'll do? Did you know that I can buy nuclear warheads in Minsk for forty million each? Hell, I'd buy half a dozen and even get a discount!
