Movie Review

Grade: B+ A few years ago, John Travolta was unstoppable. With hits like Phenomenon, Broken Arrow, and Face/Off, he was Mr. Hollywood. Until 2000, the bane of his existence. Battlefield Earth, in which he starred, was one of the worst movies ever made. It flopped because of that. His next movie, Lucky Numbers, flopped. I was sure Swordfish, judging by the previews, was going to continue his skid, but I was wrong. It made the number one spot in the box office, and it even surprised me. Read the full movie review
