This film directed by Dominic Senna, if only a cursory look, may think that Hugh Jackman is the male protagonist of the film, but a closer look will find that John Travolta is the real male number one of the film.
Travolta is one of my favorite actors, focusing on supporting roles and villains, acting quite superbly, and has also starred in many good works. But unfortunately, similar to Nicolas Cage's experience of not having a good work after making "The King of War" and even grabbing the crown of "King of Bad Films", Travolta has no film to come up with after "Operation Swordfish", which is not only a sigh.
It is worth mentioning that Nicolas Cage and John Travolta once partnered in the film "Changing Faces" directed by Wu Yusen (that is, the movie that provides the classic meme Nicholas Cage laughs), playing the male one and the male two respectively, and the two played a wonderful match. But the experience of the two many years later can not help but make people sigh that it must be a special fate...
In addition to the stunning explosion shots, the opening of the film is also extremely brilliant, and at first glance I thought it was a film flower or an interview, but Travolta's words were too shocking. As soon as the camera turned, I suddenly realized that this was just the arrangement of the plot.
In addition, Hugh Jackman had just entered the industry when he made this movie, and he was not the well-known Wolverine now, but a small fresh meat, and his acting was also very open...
Of course, the most commendable thing about "Operation Swordfish" is that the plot is not conventional. Usually, cop movies end with the gangster being accused or arrested and the police winning the final victory. But the film is different, the police think they have won, but in fact they are tricked by the bandits, the bandits are at large and the police are unaware. Because of its special release time node, it gives this film an extraordinary meaning, which can be called a rare masterpiece.
