Swordfish (2001)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Dominic Sena
Starring: John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Sam Shepard, Vinnie Jones
After Gabe fakes the airplane escape and the bus carried by the helicopter drops onto the top of the building, Gabriel and his thugs plan to escape in a helicopter on the roof. As the police are storming up the building to catch them Gabe gets onto the helicopter and flys away. As this happens Stan finds the RPG's from the bus and fires one into the helicopter and kills Gabriel (supposedly). Later Stan goes to indentify the body and has a flashback of Gabe not getting in the helicopter and going down a small staircase on the roof. The next scene Gabe and Ginger (who are alive) go to pick up the money and sail off in a boat. During this sequence a boat explodes that supposedly belonged to a terrorist leader (telling us that Gabrial is a patriot). The movie end with Stan and his daughter on a road trip in the midwest. Everyone lives happily ever after.

Ginger: If you want a chance in hell at getting your daughter back, you better listen up. Unless of course, you want to stay here, in this loser existence, while your daughter grows up to be the fluffer in her daddy's new videos.
Stanley Jobson: Please pay me the courtesy of not confusing your own childhood with my daughter's.
Question: What actually happens at the end of this film? I know that JT escapes down a staircase and therefore is not killed, but why is there a body? You see Halle Berry get shot, but at the end of the film she is on the boat with Travolta. If he is a good guy, why did he kill all those people? Does Halle Berry actually work for DEA? If not then what is the wire for?

Answer: JT is exactly who he says he is. He leaves a body behind to fool the FBI/CIA into thinking he is dead. Jackman would have believed it too had he not seen him heading down the stairs and the surgically altered corpse. Berry was not hurt, the wire, the DEA story and her getting shot were all parts of a ploy for Jackman to trust and confide in her, making it easier for Travolta to make Jackman do what he wanted. Travolta didn't actually kill any hostages directly himself, (though he did put them in that situation, he is by no means Mr. Innocent) - had the police done what he asked, no one would have been hurt at all. So basically, he IS a good guy, but his methods are somewhat morally lacking.
