Review of S.W.A.T. (2003) by Steve S — 13 Apr 2010
So I'm a tough ratings guy when it comes to action flicks. There are so many watchable action/adventure flicks out there that it's hard to find that line between a 2 and a 2 1/2 or 3 star flick.
Who didn't like SWAT? I mean really, the first time you saw that flashing red light your blood started pumpin and it didn't stop pumpin until 5 minutes after the credits started to roll. But it's NOT a movie you can watch again.
Not in the same year, at any rate. It's like Speed - the adrenalin leaks out of the if you know what comes next. And then it just feels formulaic and stilted. Which is why I'm giving you 2 stars for adrenaline and keeping 3 stars for story, acting and repeated watchability.
