     Oh wait so it was Travolta's character Gabriel but there's some weird time jump from the ex's house to the bank and then a sort of rehash of the beginning of the movie? The backend of this film is a mess.

     The same criminal mastermind who likes discussing hacking the DoD in a crowded nightclub has decided the best way to steal hundreds of millions from a bank is to drive a humvee through the front door of the bank in broad daylight.

     On #Mastodon I will be adding the hashtag #Swordfish in case people want to mute me.
