SWORDFISH

OK - well - I saw something about Hackers in this movies preview notes. It also had that Australian dude who played Wolverine (Hugh Baby Jackman) in it, along with Mr Travolta & Miss 2.5 million dollar a breast Halle Berry!!! (she was paid a reported US$5 million to expose her breasts in this film, sheesh for that amount id expose anything ive got!!)

It turned out to be a bit of a flop really, indeed if my partner who went to the preview with me wasnÕt so engrossed in the MEGAMAXI box of popcorn, she would have left! (thank grok they make them boxes BIG!).

It was all a bit of a giggle really! - the hacker scenes were laughable (Hugh hacks into the Defence force mainframe in 30 seconds with some bimbette working away on his private parts, and a gun to his head - he hacks in using a dictionary file which would fool the average punter but is laughable for anyone who can use email & up!) - the plot was meglamanic in the extreme - the acting stilted - the boobs not worth more than US$50k (the pair) - and the popcorn - well not bad really!

Id definitely wait till this one goes to vidslug, and then id wait some more for it to drop to the $2.00 shelf. In the first 20 min Mr Travolta quotes some films such as Reservoir Dogs and Dog Day Afternoon, and this film seemed to be trying hard to capture that spirit, but in this reviewers opinion - it missed! - Sorry!

Yours in-carcerated
