CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Gabriel Shear (John Travolta) discusses the problem with Hollywood films.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Dominic Sena follows up his stylish action film Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) with this high-tech thriller. John Travolta stars as Gabriel Shear, a charismatic spy who plots to steal a multi-billion-dollar fortune in illegal government funds. In order to make his scheme work, however, Gabriel needs some help from a computer hacker, which is where Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) comes in. Stanley has been paroled from prison after serving a lengthy sentence for penetrating the FBI's cyber-surveillance operations. Issued a restraining order that keeps him away from computers and living penniless in a trailer park, Stanley wants only to be reunited with his daughter Holly, who's in the custody of his ex-wife, now remarried to a pornographer. Gabriel and his partner Ginger (Halle Berry) offer Stanley the chance to get his child back in exchange for his help, but the hacker soon realizes he's a pawn in a larger operation than the high-tech bank heist he thought he was perpetrating. In the meantime, a dedicated federal agent (Don Cheadle), the same man who once arrested Stanley, is trying to expose Gabriel's operation. Swordfish also stars Sam Shepard and Zach Grenier.

One of the most underrated movies ever. John Travolta - One of the greatest actors ever.
Absolutely
JT - QAF
He’s good at times but he won the razzie for a reason. He over plays the character at times so it comes off as childish. And honestly he looks 50-60 the character is supposed to be like 30-40. He just looks too old
I don’t think he looks too old here, and it’s a good movie, but 20 years later, it’s hard not to hear “Scientology” ringing in my head when I see the guy. Good movie though.
Travolta absolutely nailed this scene!!! Absolutely Mind Blowing🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏
John Travolta literally killed it this movie , acting, lines gestures, everything perfect
The way John Travolta lid the cigar, smoke it and take a sip of the espresso is kinda satisfied.
I know right!
This scene explains the ending to Law Abiding Citizen perfectly.
This movie was almost like a warning sign to what's happening now
Now we have to worry about liberals and Democrats taking over
ShadesOfKnight Wonderful
How?
@@anthonyspencer3920 Because the "bad guy" isn't allowed to win. Somehow the "bad guy" who is aware of every detail and the "good guy" who can't seem to keep up switch places at the end.
Absolutely amazing scene. Incredible monologue, focus pulling, and use of shallow depth of field.
Don't point at the swordfish
@@Dragon-Slay3r👉🏾🗡️🐠Just did
John travolta is a living legend
that intro on hollywood has never been more relevant
His opening makes total 100% sense which I admire about Travolta's character.
I loved the whole movie but as someone who always preferred good dialog over good action in movies, this opening speech is my favorite part. The acting was S-tier.
One of the greatest openings for a film, IMO.
Travolta is usually at his best playing a villian
But he wasn't the villian. He was the good guy, uh, kind of good guy at another level.... I'm so confused!😶🌫
He’s the anti hero. In a way. He’s like how Vic deakins in broken arrow and Castor Troy in face/off should have been like.
I will never forget the moment shortly after this scene where the bomb vest goes off. This was the first movie I watched after purchasing my surround sound system and omg, watching movies would never be the same. The sound of the ball bearings whizzing around the room and how the room shook during the explosions. Sound quality is more important than picture quality imo.
The opening of this movie is a classic - so true - Hollywood makes shit - unbelievable unremarkable shit
I loved this scene: calmly discussing filmmaking over a cigar and a demitasse...and then reverse angle on the SWAT team leveling MP-5s at Travolta.
@@pauloroddi3660 No more drugs.. for this man. This man being - You.
David Rice Haha! I want to take his Face...Off.
@@joshbrucemellis6481 😂😂
Brings a cool customer to a whole new meaning
@@joshbrucemellis6481 Face....... off......
He should have won an Oscar for this. Slim sophisticated cigar with a tiny little coffee cup. LOL. Classic.
" all caught in High-def. computer enhanced color corrected can practically taste the brain matter"
"all for what? an bus, an plane? An few million dollars that's already federally insured?" Actually it's worth it to them to lose all that and more.
I'll never understand the petty hatred for slick movies like this or Mission Impossible 2
Epic unforgettable opening scene
That is the coolest cigar cutter and lighter I've ever seen. Very classic.
I literally just googled it to buy one! I don't even smoke cigars but I cut half of the filter from my cigarettes. $10 on Craigslist 🙂
Walmart carries it.
I’ve been looking over for this lighter forever. I quit smoking a while ago, but i will start it again if i got one 😃. Do you possibly hsve aby idea where to buy one or what is the ligther’s brand?
I actually really liked this movie and thought john’s acting was pretty good.
I agree I think this is one of his more underrated performances. After his big comeback in Pulp Fiction in '94, he had a 7-year stretch of popularity and good movies including this one. And then I can't honestly remember anything he's done remotely good since this movie.
Great acting with Travolta.
Everybody else? Not so much.
Jackman trying to look like he is an actual hacker is pure comedy gold.
He taps his fingers on the keyboards like it's a piano concerto, with these dramatic "YES!" and "NO NO NO!" moments as he hacks.
Travolta I take seriously in this movie. Very seriously.
But I truly love this movie because Jackman is so out of place
over the top hollywood film criticises other hollywood films for lack of realism...
ding
michiel that’s kinda the point
I dont think you get it
Pixel?
The middle of the hostage situation Travolta's character is in that is the bulk of the last 20-30 minutes. He's thinking about the necessary casualties just to get what he wants.
0:02: Netflix originals in a nutshell.
Perfect description of Hollywood.
John Travolta is the obvious hero in this piece, just listen to this openning.
If you like them ruthlessly selfish and morally bankrupt, then yeah.
Well he isnt a hero, he's willing to do unspeakable things to innocent people including American citizens in order to preserve and maintain the "America First" political policy.
"Life is stranger than fiction sometimes." Foreshadowing of the ending?
Foreshadowing of America in 2021
The scenario he’s talking about with Dog Day Afternoon was addressed in the original Taking of Pelham 123. They just start killing hostages
And to the remake
@@kazuhachi952...in which John Travolta killed hostages!
Well, the remake of taking of Pelham 123 with John Travolta and Denzel Washington to quote Travolta in this film, didn’t push the envelope. It should have been more like how Speed, die hard 1, 2, 3 and 4, blown away 1994, Deja vu 2006, broken arrow and face/off were over the top. With vehicles like trains, buses and boats flying in the air and crashing and landing and blowing up. It should have been more simplified. He should’ve had more guys and planting bombs all around the city and in the subways too. Like I know it was made after 9/11 but still you got to go ballistic with action. And plus travolta and Washington should have had a fight scene like Travolta had with Christian slater in broken arrow and Nicolas cage in face/off.
John Travolta. To me the greatest actor
I don't know about that but he just killed that scene for sure! One of his best performances imo.
I agree
This scene is gold and predicted modern Hollywood ruled by Disney and comic book movies. Small, impactful, well acted films are a forgotten art.
This scene alone should've won an Oscar but hey as you can tell Hollywood prefers unremarkable shit
No Oscar not even an people's choice award. There's always Istanbul...😏
The ironic thing about this scene is how it could be describing the movie itself.
The opening to this movie was excellent. The rest of it is more or less what Travolta is saying here.
Dog Day Afternoon is based off of a true story. It is literally the worst example to use.
@@sxysteve87 It less about one particular movie's source material than what ends up occurring after this speech.
John Travolta the only real triple threat the master of smooth ...
John is a great villain
"Life is stranger than fiction sometimes"
Yeah wolverine as an L33T hacker?! 😂🤣
Facts 💯
Life is stranger than fiction
You can practically taste the brain matter!
Honorable Cnote yummy!
@WRITE@BOOK@BOUT-I+
The problem with this scene is that Dog Day Afternoon was based on true story
There are about 70 problems with this scene. That is definitely one of them
Oh the irony...
that is some Quentin Tarantino shit right there
One of the first 'real' movies I have ever seen in my life. Love you for life, John.
He drinks real coffee, That part really got me many years ago.
I like good coffee put on the plate.
Every time I watch this scene, I just want one of those cigars he has...
John Travolta what a actor good at playing a good guy and a bad guy not many can do that s for sure
Travolta is talking about his all action movies except Face/Off
+Vp Singh *especially Face/Off
Broken arrow
They are all realistic...
Idk I personally have a soft spot for Broken Arrow
What@terrible thing 2 say?!?..
i unabashedly love Swordfish - its so deliciously self aware and the ending is fantastic if you think about it for a second
That is true that movies now-a-days have a lack of realism.
Very true, back then movies wasn't a lack of realism but, if they make a crappy movies *that's* realism.
Hollywood has always been about the world as it should be, not as it actually is, even back during the Golden Age.
One of the top 5 opening scenes EVER
This scene's shots keep chopping and changing like a music video. The director, Dominic Sena - surprise! - used to direct music videos.
Doesn't even finish his cigar. Smh
❤Mr Travolta is the ABSOLUTELY best most talented actor in the universe!!!❤
I actually really liked John Travolta's character in this movie, and this was just one year after Battlefield Earth!
Later Fast & Furious sequels, nowadays comic book and Disney movies in a nutshell.
If these guys are for real, my government will be the FIRST one to hire them!
Great scene great acting
Indonesia subtitle nya ada gk sihhhhh please ...
Reminds me of Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element
u gotta give him his credit for swordfish he did good !
This was the first movie that I watched at cinema, because of that I love it.
He makes very valid points
Man this is SUDDENLY INCREDIBLY AN INSTANT LEGENDARY SCENE
So remarkably true..
see john travolta in the movie love song for bobby long he great the movie is a work of art.
Move !
I won't say it again !
Actually, DOG DAY was '75, not '76 :)
I loved this film ,John travolta is magnetic
I'm ready for the sequel.
The problem with using Dog Day Afternoon as an example is that it was based on a true story and that much of what takes place in the film actually happened in real life. The entire monologue falls apart once you bear that in mind.
You know guys, I gotta go, gotta jet.
Love John Travolto.
9/11 def pushed the envelope
I don't agree
Awesome.
Perfecto inicio!
Morality tale with Gabriel Shear
Why was Travolta nominated for a razzie for this???
truth.....
Good job
Sad thing is this is actually true especially these past several years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022). Granted many of the show's were fairly good...but some only to a point.
I think gabriel was break 4th wall in this movie..he know how to beat it😎
very good as reallity thought
God Damn Travolta was sooo good.
This is such a strange film.
The idea behind it is pretty cool, just didnt nail it.
Its also a great openinh scene, let down by weird filming choices.
So you mean to say that "it didn't push the envelope".
What if sonny wanted 2 get away w/it?!? (*REALLY GET AWAY W/IT **HOW MANY INNOCENT VICTIMS WOULD IT TAKE!?!)...
On of my favorite movies.
10 hostages die..... 20 .... 30 .... relentless, bam, bim.....one after another.
Give Travolta a MacArthur grant
alot of these old movies bring up whats happening today interesting makes u wonder
This is NOT an old movie, kiddo.
The 40 year old virgin
cricket ball injury hit me in face ouch
"I'm talking about a lack of realism. Why didn't Sonny start shooting hostages in Dog Day Afternoon?" Ummmm...because that's not what happened in real life and it's based on a true story? Wouldn't showing what actually happened count as realism?
Technically, we do not know what is actually real. We only believe what we see is portrayed as the “true story” through the media. So what the film is a documentary or is based on a true story, how do we know what we are watching is 110% authentically real? Just a train for thought :)
This sence should get The oscar .
Gabriel Shear would kinda fit in place with all the snarky reviewers you see all the time on TH-cam.
play....play on DVD
He isn't wrong about Hollywood though..:))
Best acting
big mike is after the fish
i agree
The bad guy wins. makes it a goat movie.
You know the problem with this scene? The goddamn camera moves that don't make any sense. The guy is calm and collected but the camera insists on flinging itself around and giving a completely different impression. Short-sighted direction, eh?
Note that I haven't seen this movie, just stumbled upon this scene because I was looking for the explosion sequence as an example of a post-matrix bullet time effect.
^who says you need to have made a movie to know that this is bad directing? The camera keeps changing its focus and unnecessary cutting for no reason. The camera work is shifting so much that it's distracting from the actual dialogue that's being spoken. There's no purpose to it. It seems to change our focus and distract us solely for the purpose of being edgy
+vanishy0urself Yep, the jittery camera moves completely undercut the calm demeanour of Travolta's character. It should've been a steady shot with a slow zoom into his face.
The camera moving distracts you from the dialog? Lmao, you must be simple minded. Can you rub your stomach and pat your head? Go ahead, try. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
vanishy0urself story is quite different, you will love this part u see the whole movie
vanishy0urself The Matrix-style explosion in the opening scene: talk about a lack of realism.
travolta..wrong to the right person 😎
Who am I laugh hugh Lawes jacket 🧥
They should have added in the cockoo clock speech by Orson Welles.🥠🎐🤯🧠
This movie was released 3 months before Sept 11.
