The Swordfish Blu-ray brings home Dominic Sena's 2001 techno-thriller, starring John Travolta as Gabriel Shear and Hugh Jackman as Stanley Jobson, the gifted hacker he pulls into a high-stakes digital heist. Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones round out the cast.
This is a brand-new copy of the Warner Bros. film on Blu-ray. You will need a Blu-ray player or a game console that plays Blu-ray discs, because it will not play in a standard DVD-only player.
Swordfish opened in US theaters on June 8, 2001. Stanley Jobson (Jackman) is a brilliant hacker just out of prison. His parole bars him from touching a computer, and a restraining order keeps him away from his young daughter, Holly.
Ginger Knowles (Berry) persuades him to work for Gabriel Shear (Travolta). Gabriel offers Stanley ten million dollars to build a multi-headed computer worm, called a "hydra", that can siphon billions from secret government slush funds. As the plan unfolds, Stanley learns that nobody around him is quite who they seem.
Don Cheadle plays FBI Agent J.T. Roberts and Sam Shepard plays Senator James Reisman. Vinnie Jones plays Marco, and Drea de Matteo appears as Melissa.
Joel Silver produced the film with Jonathan D. Krane, through Silver Pictures. The film's opening explosion was its most complex visual effect. Frantic Films created the Matrix-like effect, captured with 135 synchronized still cameras.
Paul Oakenfold produced the 15-track soundtrack album, and Christopher Young wrote the orchestral score with electronic additions by Oakenfold. The film earned more than 147 million dollars worldwide.
On Blu-ray, the electronic soundtrack and the action scenes get a high-definition presentation, and owning the disc means the movie is always on your shelf, with no streaming license to expire.

Wow! What a great first 5 minutes!
5 of 5 stars for this exciting suspense movie. The first 5 minutes of the movie is an amazing set of scenes acting as a kick-start for this high-tension, suspenseful action movie. Right down to the little ball-bearing rolling towards to camera covered in blood–amazing effects!
Travolta’s character is truly evil–calm, cool, collected but evil. Frankly, he is really a terrorist trying to sway events using violence. Ruthlessly cold, he doesn’t mind killing people to get his way. For his purposes, he needs a top-class computer hacker (Jackman) who he recruits via Halle Berry’s character.
Thru the whole movie, there are twists and turns. Travolta even makes a speech to Jackman about how Harry Hudini did his tricks “mis-direction”! Several times, you learn things are not as they appeared to mis-direct efforts. Travolta is in total control.
Lots of action scenes, chases, explosions, machine guns, RPGs, etc. The ending scenes have several surprise twists; remember, mis-direction!

Sizing Up the Picture
This is not a review of the movie itself (there are other comments and reviews in this one and the dvd version) but a review of the video transfer of this Blu Ray. This is a good looking transfer in 1080p/VC-1 video, colors are very well saturated, blacks are rock solid and the contrast is really good. The audio is in English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and encoded at 640kbps. It has a lot of sorround effects specially in the beggining with the ‘Matrix’-esque “girl with bomb explodes” sequence. That sequence in particular is the one you can display to show your blu ray player.
The bottom line… it is a nice (but not excellent) action film that will look good in Blu Ray, specially beign one of the first who came out.
