Star
John Travolta revisits the grinning villain territory he
explored in BROKEN ARROW and FACE/OFF with this stylish,
supercharged techno-thriller. He plays Gabriel, a
charismatic, fast-living mystery man who, with help from
his right-hand woman, Ginger (Halle Berry), recruits
ex-con and former master hacker Stan (Hugh Jackman) to
aid in a plan to steal billions from a secret government
bank account.
Stan reluctantly agrees to help in
order to finance the legal battle for custody of his
young daughter (Camryn Grimes). Meanwhile an FBI
computer crimes specialist (Don Cheadle) is determined
to find out what's about to go down, and plans to use
Stan to find out.
The movie amply earns its keep by cleverly zig-zagging
away from audience's expectations and delivering many
clever, pulse-pounding action set pieces--including an
incredible opening explosion, a car chase through
downtown Los Angeles replete with blazing machine guns,
and a spectacular airborne climax. With the help of a
propulsive electronica score by DJ Paul Okenfold,
director Dominic Sena (GONE IN 60 SECONDS) lays down
lots of style, and Travolta is mesmerizing in his juicy
role!!
