Action... explosive action. Clever script. Eye popping special effects. A strong cast, but too much confusion in following the story line. A highly successful computer hacker(Hugh Jackman)is coerced to help a ruthless spy(John Travolta)steal billions of unused government monies obtained in an old DEA drug operation. Don Cheadle is the run ragged FBI agent trying to spoil the by-computer hijacking. Sam Shepard has a small role as a corrupt Senator. The alluring Halle Berry is supposedly an undercover DEA agent whose purpose in the whole procedure is not clear cut.
If you are looking for a good escape from reality; this flick will give you several big bangs for your buck. It is good to see Travolta play a clever, bad ass thug. Some of his best work in a long time. And for the first time, Miss Berry appears topless on screen; and in other various degrees of undress...so nice my eyes hurt. Vinnie Jones is impressive as a strong arm enforcer. Rough and ready entertainment worth your time.
