Swordfish was very entertaining.....Halle Berry was nice, Gun handling was great, cool explosions, TVR was very cool.

Storyline was kind of weak, computer mumbo jumbo was humorous (expected).

Giving away the ending is pretty immature and inconsiderate no matter how bad the movie is ...

Some people have diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.

That was the worst movie I have ever seen...I walked out after about 20-25 min, right when that chinese gang blew up that fags eclipse. There was absolutly no plot, the acting was the worst i have ever seen, and just some of the things that were going on was so dam stupid and unbelevable......that movie just totaly sucked

Cars were fun. Enough NOS to give Mars an atmosphere

Question:

Would you highjack trucks with glow lights under your highjack vehicles?

Or

If you were a cat bugler, would you wear UV bulbs with dayglow paint over your black clothes?

Yea I agree with Jens, it was worth the 8.75 admission.

The beginning really sucks... incredibly cheezy acting/lingo/etc... but it does get better.

But overall I like the movie. It was fun. Nothing memorable though.

Yeah,

Saw it too this past Sunday. What's the deal with the ending? I know Amir ruined it for us but still...no closure!

This movie ranks right up there with Blair Witch project! Bang for the buck to the Producer I am sure. Brought in 40 million in the first week!

That's because Craig Lieberman told us that Universal has already okayed a sequel. Yes, a sequel.

IMHO, I didn't like it much. It might a surprise to those of you who consider the IS300 a "ricey"-looking vehicle that I found most of the cars in the movie rather awful, except for the positively bad-ass Charger. That Supra would've been much nicer w/o the lame graphics and tall wing, IMO.

What really dissapointed me was the lack of real stunt driving, a la BMWfilms. I never saw the Skyline do jack. What really pissed me off was the corporate dumbing-down/mysticizing of car mods. CAD demonstrations for shitty set of Tokicos? And NOS must've paid a shitload to get as much placement as they did. The movie should be called "The NOS and the Contrived."

"No, you're inexperienced... I've seen you, you're a little heavy in the foot. NOS will kill you..."

Please.

Watch NOS sales spike.

Oh yea they definately left it wide open for a sequel... NOTHING happened in the entire movie... nothing came to a conclusion.

I dont even think the next movie could be called a sequel... its more like Fast & The Furious Part 2

I agree...I took my wife to see this, she actually enjoyed it, as she did with "Gone in 60 seconds". Not the greatest piece of moviemaking, but not the worst either...by far (take any Chuck Norris movie...please!!!).

I'm pissed .. the blond haired guy is a cop?? wtf!!! now all I'm gonna get from the movie is the cool adrenalin pumping car chase scenes and the special effects.



seriously tho, even tho the above sounded kinda sarcastic (ya know cuz thats really why I'm gonna go see the movie anyways .. for the car chase scenes and all) .. I'm still bummed that I caught a glimpse of a quote of amir's spoiler before I knew it ... now I know the ending of the movie

i waited for that movie for like 3 or 4 month =)
i dont care about the storyline... the main reason i like that movie is THE CARS!!! WHO CARES about the storyline... if u think u like storyline more than cars.. then go watch Pearl Harbor or some other shit.

I LOVE THE WHOLE MOVIE and the CAR SHOW in front of the theater.. except the TICKET I GOT !!!!

i already bought the sound track... PRETTY GOOD
AND i will definitely buy the DVD.

Just curious.. do u guys think the cars in there r RICE???
