I spent the first 35+ years of my life hearing about how great this movie is, and I finally get around to watching it and now I know why.
It isn't because it's a good movie. It's because it has a tranny in it. Or maybe they're just gay, or a gay cross dresser? idk because I half tuned it out by then and started playing video games while I watched out of the corner of my eye.
He's a tranny, they are robbing the bank to get the tranny a sex change operation.
Tranny gets shot at the end right?
Yup.
Based af.
IIRC, I rented it back when Swordfish was in theaters and it referenced Dog Day Afternoon.
Swordfish's premise for escalated retaliatory violence against terrorist groups, including murdering thousands or more of their "innocent" civilians was pretty fucking based for it's time, but that shouldn't have been the subplot for the bad guy imo. Should have been the main plot for the whole damn movie.
There are two things I remember about Swordfish.....and they are better in Monster's Ball.
