I believe that most of the people attracted by this film are because of the poster. Although I don’t know the roles of several people in it, the nostalgic atmosphere of the black-and-white poster and the four rambunctious guys make people eager to know the content of the film.
But after watching it, you will find that the painted image is very different from what is depicted on the poster. It is neither a gangster movie nor a documentary like Scorsese's "No Way Home". This film tells the story of a madman who wants to save the world and fight against terrorism in order to obtain funds for the event and confront the police for a short time. Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine in "X-Men", became a hacker Stanley, and the madman used He broke into the banking system to get secret deposits. Stanley, who did not know the insider, tried to sabotage the plan several times but failed, and finally found that his opponent was extremely cunning, and he could not fight against the leader of this interest group.
Stanley is the protagonist of this film. Although the madman is the Boss, there are few places that are impressive, except for the scene of shooting with a submachine gun while driving. Stanley is the most flesh-and-blood character in the film. He is upright and just, and has spent time in prison for this ("heroes" in American films are usually ill-fated), and his life is also very bad. After he divorced his wife, he even lost custody of the children. (Related to being in prison), most of the reason for joining Madman's plan later came from raising money to get his daughter back. The scene of waving goodbye to his daughter in the film is quite touching, but the FBI's intervention quickly brought it back to reality. When the black police officer urged him to join the Justice Division, Stanley refused, because he had long since distrusted the police, and instead In pursuit of the so-called justice, it is better to get a legal fee to get my daughter back, which is 10 million US dollars!
Money is an important medium in the film, connecting Stanley with the madman, and then challenging the rich porn tycoon (who remarried Stanley's ex-wife and intends to raise his stepdaughter to become a porn girl) and the high-profile senator (manipulating the dark forces). for campaign funds). In the real world where the fence is full, they can only promote their love and justice through illegal channels, and the word "anti-hero" is more suitable to describe them.
At the end of the film, the madman and his accomplice-sexy girl appeared in Europe, and the Stanley father and daughter finally lived a normal life. The former continues to hunt down terrorists and maintain peace; the latter promises a safe and warm environment for her daughter to grow up. So far, the Swordfish operation has become a thing of the past, and the "anti-heroes" have gone their separate ways, guarding the world and the people around them in ways that are contrary to the dignified and superficial justice.
