Unfortunately for Jobson, it’s not as simple as typing up a few spreadsheets, as Ginger’s boss turns out to be Gabriel (John Travolta), an unhinged megalomaniac with some seriously criminal plans in mind.

Travolta’s bad guy is a gloriously over-the-top villain who lives an incredibly ostentatious life outside the confines of the law. He’s also a master strategist and ensures his plans keep him several steps ahead of the authorities at all times. From manufacturing hostage situations to double-crossing his own allies, nothing is off limits for this Machiavellian mastermind. Gabriel demands perfection (except perhaps from his hairdresser), meaning that Jobson’s position (and life) is constantly balanced on a knife edge.

Swordfish is a high-concept, high-stakes, high-octane action thriller with a truly memorable opening scene. It’s also a movie that was prescient in its view of the destructive power of hacking and the power of the internet as a tool for corruption.

It’s also got one of the best casts around, with Don Cheadle as the FBI agent on Jobson’s tail, Sam Shepard as Gabriel’s financier and Vinnie Jones as hired thug Marco. Combined with some Tarantino-inspired touches from director Dominic Sera, amazing action scenes and Hugh Jackman looking stressed in front of a computer, this is one noughties action smash you’d be mad to miss.
