Went and saw Swordfish last night. At the start of the movie they have this foreign computer hacker trying to get into LAX. He is stopped and they find 2 passports on him and they detain him for further investigation. They claim that he is from Finland but the 2 passports they show are GERMAN passports and he carries on a lengthy conversation with his GERMAN lawyer in the GERMAN language (I lived in Germany for 17 years so I do know when German is being spoken). For such a high priced film as this it is an incredible mistake to make and I really don't understand why they would even have this Finnish/German confusion. Maybe they thought that the Germans would be offended by yet another German "bad guy" and decided to pawn this off as Finnish. I guess the German market is alot bigger than the Finnish one !!
Anyway, the movie was enjoyable (not a potential Oscar winner), and the action and Halle Berry (topless, no less, and she was paid an EXTRA $500,000 for going topless in one scene) was worth the price of admission.
