Movie Review

Grade: C+ Rising actor Colin Farrell finally stars in a mediocre movie, but things could have been much worse. S.W.A.T. is nothing more than the typical summer action movie, but it is what it is and knows it. For the most part, shoddy dialogue is counteracted with excellent action. Read the full movie review

I second. A disappointment, by Galen Olson

April 6, 2004

Excellent first 30 minutes; the rest is awful with bloated action scenes and an out-of-this-world ending (preposterious). An OK movie for teenagers my age, but don't expect much for the rest of you...a high "C."
