Synopsis
In this futuristic technology spy movie, John Travolta plays Gabriel Shear, a man who is desperately trying to access information that is locked inside a complicated computer system that contains mountains of government secrets--and money. He hires Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman), a desperate computer expert, to help him hack into the system.

Bill's Comments

Here is an action movie with a complex plot that you may or may not understand/figure out. I don't think it matters. It's not high drama. It's action!! If you can enjoy a movie that is all action -- go see it. I enjoyed it. Travolta was better than I expected and the special effects are just fine. Again, you shouldn't go for the story, but if you feel like a good action flick --- catch it before it leaves the area.
