I'd like to know that too.


Just watched the original last night. Still holds up for the most part after all these years.

That's a funny coincidence - I just watched it last night On Demand. It's not bad at all but it's kind of a strange action/drama/comedy blend. Definitely has great performances by Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, and Jerry Stiller of all people.

Which was fucking horrible. I'll probably check out Pelham 123 though.

I think everybody gave solid performances, Travolta was very good.


No young Halle-Berry boobie shot?

I actually kind of liked Swordfish, but probably only because of the fact I went into it with zero expectations (oh, that and topless Halle).

I thought it was rather good. The acting by all was very good. I've always liked Tony Scott's style ever since I saw Spy Game. I like most of his movies. Sure it may be predictable, but the presentation was good.

Some may dislike Scott's directing style, but I think he's one of the few who applies shaky-cam correctly (it's not on all shots).

I'd like to see it but I've watched too many movies recently
