Just watched S.W.A.T. Thought it was an okay movie, but it was a bit too long with too many subplots that they never quite developed. LL Cool J actually did a good job acting this time, and so did the rest of the cast for that matter.

I checked it out on Friday night. It was an alright movie. I agree with it being a TAD too long. LOTS of character development with perhaps not enough action. I'd give ie like a 6/10. Decent Mindless summer movie :)

I watched it on Friday as well. I thought it was pretty good. The length did not bother me as I like special forces/tactic movies. If I watched it again the length might bother me however. I thought the acting was good. Samuel L. Jackson was pretty good in this one. To me he half asses his movies sometimes like Star Wars, but he did ok in SWAT. The only other thing that bothered me was the fight scene at the end it was hard to tell who was doing what and who was getting beat up. 2.5-3 out of 4 stars

I liked it. (even though the theatre lighting was screwed updamn casino theatre employees)
I was kinda irritated by the ending...without giving away a spoiler...the end-game twist (that guy that did that thing that surprised everyone) was totally unbelievable. That's all I can say w/o spoiling it.
Altogether, not a bad use of 2 hours and five bucks.

i liked it in a way, but to me it didn't show any of S.w.a.t's image to me.. no hard core technicall things, or teamwork search and capture...alrite movie....just another summer action

this is the first movie i've seen with colin farrell in it, and i gotta say, he's a horrible actor. i mean, it wasn't in the league of, say, catherine zeta-jones in entrapment, but he should stick to roles where he doesn't have to try and hide his accent. it just sounds ridiculous...

My father-in-law saw this and he thought it was all right. One of the few things he had a problem with was that you can't shoot through an airplane windshield they way they did because of the plexiglass thickness they use. With the weapons they used it would just crack it and deflect off. It would take armor-piercing .50 cal rounds to do what they did. Oh well that's Hollywood.

But since they were using paintballs, it's all good. :P

Burned it off the internet and watched it at work...
Pretty good movie, but glad I saved the $8
