Review of S.W.A.T. (2003) by Yde K — 20 Jul 2008
I've been wanting to see this for a while and had somewhat high expectations. Surprisingly, this actioner takes its time introducing the characters and the grouping of the SWAT team, not without decent action scenes, of course.
While doing that is cool to watch, it relies on quite a few stereotypes of similar films, throwing cool lines at the audience every minute or so. That does get old after a while and you are starting to wish things would get serious already.
Once the main events starts rolling, the movie gains a few levels of excitement, while losing a few in realism. That's okay though and still makes for a pretty good 30-minutes showdown. Overall, the movie takes itself a tad too serious and wants to be cooler than it is, but delivers good action entertainment nonetheless.
