Thus begins a first for me on two levels, one I will be simultaneously live tweeting, tooting and skeeting along with a movie and two that movie will be Swordfish from 2001, which I have never seen before.
At this point why don't they just go into the bank they want to rob via computer with good old fashioned guns? Oh wait, the beginning of the movie is coming back to me. #Swordfish
So the Senator has sent someone undercover to assume John Travolta as Gabriel's identity because something something secret stash of DEA money? Is anyone involved in this elaborate criminal plot just a plain old criminal? #Swordfish
The same criminal mastermind who likes discussing hacking the DoD in a crowded nightclub has decided the best way to steal hundreds of millions from a bank is to drive a humvee through the front door of the bank in broad daylight. #Swordfish
Oh wait so it was Travolta's character Gabriel but there's some weird time jump from the ex's house to the bank and then a sort of rehash of the beginning of the movie? The backend of this film is a mess. #Swordfish
This movie makes the classic mistake of directly and indirectly referencing better movies that highlight the inadequacies of the movie itself, all this Dog Day Afternoon hat tipping isn't helping anything. I do like that this time it's an antivirus branded, circuit-board themed bus though? #Swordfish
The end of this movie really makes me unsure of whether the writers are endorsing the world view of Travolta's character or not. This wasn't as bad as I expected, I'm prepared to admit that! #Swordfish
I do feel like about half way through the movie the script writers or director was sick of techno-babble and decided they just wanted a straight up by the book action movie which makes the plot unnecessarily convoluted, but maybe there was a concern that hackers alone wouldn't sell cinema tickets. #Swordfish
