Leave your thoughts about S.W.A.T..
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack Garner[Jackson and Farrell] manage to keep us interested with pure charisma. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBob TownsendGood cop; bad cop. Bad TV show; bad movie. That about sums up S.W.A.T. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn agreeable throwback...an action movie that, despite its modern sheen, has an almost charmingly old-fashioned feel. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[N]ot... actively awful -- it's just sort of boring and completely predictable and a little bit laughable in its psychology. |
| NetflixJames RocchiBest-of-the-best cops make for a better-than-average action flick thanks to street-level direction and blue-collar heroics. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomIt is just a solid, by-the-book police melodrama with characters and situations we have seen dozens of times before on the big and small screen. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumSean O'ConnellStarts off strong, delivers a few adrenaline rushes, and loses steam before it coasts to a stop and drops us off safe and sound. |
| Talking Pictures (U.S.)Tony Toscano...The film succeeds in developing its story, characters and action even though every step of the way is a formula-ridden minefield. |
| Broomfield EnterpriseDan Marcucci and Nancy SerougiI was very disappointed in this movie. Not because it was bad, but because it was good. I had all these lines made up to make fun of it and now I can't use them. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg Maki... S.W.A.T. is an action movie for those of us who want to see more than shiny cars and musclebound meathead heroes of the Vin Diesel variety. |
