Swordfish (2001)
Made famous because it has Halle Berry's first nude scene, the movie is actual pretty good despite the hype. The cast is solid and the writing engaging. It also teaches a great lesson in deception.

Lesson Learned:
Things are not always what they seem. Our perception is not only unreliable, but can also be easily distorted.
Life Skill:
Recognizing deception and illusions; while
understanding our own natural vunerablities is the best way to not be fooled by "magic tricks".
Critical Thinking:
When do you find yourself distracted? During what activities do you have a hard time keeping your concentration?
Is it laziness? What do you think keeps people from taking the time to truly understand and uncover the truth?
Mindful Behavior:
Patience. Slowing down.
I hate cliches, but "The devil IS in the details."
