    Swordfish  (2001)

    I may have seen too many of these plot- and identity-twisters for this one to be leave much of an impact.  I did enjoy Travolta and Jackman, and the opening monolog was clever; so too the wheels within wheels bit with the Finnish hacker, but after the unfortunate hostage explosion, it all got sort of bland and trite from there.  Even silly (I mean, lugging a bus through the air?  This is someone's idea of realism?).  Sometimes the dialog was sharp and sophisticated, sometimes it bordered on the corny.  Halle Berry's character wasn't convincing on any level.  Not an awful film but not great, either.
