Acting: 18 -  Its not very often where the supporting cast out-acts the main star, but it comes close to happening here. Not that John Cusack acted poorly, it just seemed to be his same old routine. The cast blended well.

Creators: 19 -  Nicely directed and produced with a few interesting perspectives thrown in.

Impact: 7 -  I still can't help but not like this movie for its casual treatment of serious long-term commitments without consequences. Not very realistic at all.

Acting: 28 -  Robert DeNiro and Eddie Murphy...someone should get an award just for making a movie with those two headliners. All the main characters in this movie were great, especially entertaining was William Shatner.

Creators: 17 -  A funny action movie isn't exactly easy. The flow is easy to interrupt. For the most part Showtime keeps the action distinct and dramatic. But there are times when you forget that these cops are actually on a case.

Impact: 8 -  Fun, good entertainment, and partially original. If more movies followed this pattern I would watch them much more often!

Acting: 28 - There aren't really actors, but the characters are well casted and the voice acting is perfect to tell this kind of story. As usual Mike Myers is the biggest ham.

Creators: 19 - Fabulous computer rendering! Some of the features and mannerisms of the characters were incredibly lifelike.

Impact: 9 - Knee-slapping funny, and a welcome fresh perspective. The only reason this does not get a 10 is this: Shrek pokes so much fun at fairy tales that it might go overboard for younger audiences, which in turn would make older audiences not like it since it isn't what they remember fairy tales as. Whatever.

Acting: 29 -  Robert Redford, always steady, shows his experience and confidence, while Brad Pitt (who looks remarkably like a young Redford) strides right along with him. Excellent bit parts and overall very solid acting.

Creators: 18 -  My only complaint is the seeming choppiness of the pace, not a major problem, just something that is unavoidable in this type of anti-chronological movie.

Impact: 8 -  Well crafted, great cast, good story. All around a very entertaining movie. Well worth your time to check out.

Acting: 27 - Hugh Jackman has a very strong presence and is somehow innately believable. Travolta is not likewise blessed, but plays a stupendous insane megalomaniac.

Creators: 17 - Great movie making. Some incredible camera work and great action sequences. My only beef...PLEASE do a little research before you talk computer lingo and hacking. The "hacking" was mostly multiple references to techy-type things strung together in a sentence.

Impact: 6 - Dog Day Afternoon is referenced many times in the film. From the opening sequence about Hollywood making a bunch of crap, to several of the story's visual devices. The problem is that Swordfish never delivers on its promise to make a better film than Dog Day Afternoon.
