S.W.A.T. (2003-)

Movie Review

Do you remember the '70s cop show this action-thriller is based upon? If your answer is no, then you're probably in the majority. It was never considered to be one of the best police shows on TV but it was entertaining. Everything was neatly wrapped up in 60 minutes and the bad guys always got what they deserved (a formula that still holds true for most primetime dramas to this day). Best of all, you didn't have to be a brain surgeon to follow the storylines. Fast-forward 30 years and "S.W.A.T.'s" mindless energy is brought to the big screen. "S.W.A.T" is the perfect August release - not too much dialogue, a whole lot of action, and an easy to follow plot populated with believable characters.
