A Solid Action Movie
Jul 10, 2008
notoriousnicholas - yahoo.com
This movie delivers what it promises, solid action. Don't go to this movie expecting an osacra winning screenplay, go expecting to see a very good action movie. If you go with that expecctation, you won't be let down. It's great.... Full review
HIGH-MINDED ACTION low-minded screenplay
Jun 23, 2008

"SWAT" is high on energy but low on plot and character development. With names like Street, Hondo, and Gamble, this lets you know that we are stepping into a movie more in tuned to comic books than classic novels; only comics... Full review

This is probabley the worst job of editing I've ever seen in a movie. Each scene is merely an excuse to create another music video. The soundtrack is annoying, never stopping. It even continues during conversation.... Full review

People may dismiss S.W.A.T. as one of those films that stands there on its own as pure entertainment for the average film going Joe and overall, they'd be right to do so. You don't need me or anyone else to... Full review
Typical American action movie

Well SWAT offers great action through most of the movie but when it comes down to the acting, its bad. SWAT starts off quite well but then turns a bid boring then towards the end has a lot of action and... Full review

While some say low on plot and character development, this movie was an excellent movie with great characters, great visuals, and a plot which made a lot of sense. The LA SWAT team needs new faces, so Samuel L. Jackson puts... Full review

Urban Cinefile
A highly enjoyable police actioner, S.W.A.T. relies on charismatic star power, high tension and good dialogue to entertain. Gripping every step of the way with some humour woven into the mix, S.W.A.T. is the thinking-man's kind of action film. ... Full Review

With those caveats in mind, this disc would make a good rental . The mix is clean and clear and fits the movie well. Sony continues to release nice mid-level action flick for their Blu-Ray line. There are a lot of exciting scenes, some cool battles ... Full Review

S.W.A.T." was fun, but shallow. Im not a fan of Michelle Rodriguez and was more than happy when she was gunned down on my favorite show, "Lost," but the feisty Latino actress found herself a good casting call in "S.W.A.T." Supporting actors Josh Charles and Brian Van Holt round out the S.W.A.T. team and though they do not possess the box office muscle of their co-stars, they hold their own nicely. ... Full Review

S.W.A.T." was fun, but shallow.....Their initial wave of MPEG-2 titles were among the best on the format and their new VC-1 releases are perhaps the best.....The lovely Latino actress, two tough African American males, an Irish bad-boy, the redneck and a cookie cutter cop are those behind the S.W.A.T. team.....The opening scene where the S.W.A.T. team is working to bring down some bank robbers is well shot.... ...
