Watch S.W.A.T.: Firefight For Free

Nice effects though.

Memorable, crazy movie

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

S.W.A. T.: Firefight is a movie geared for those who like action movies with details. It is a good movie to watch with friends. The pace of the movie is a little slow for an action movie. The build to the action is slow.It is not one of the better action movies, but it is okay. For this movie you can get a pizza instead of popcorn. You can watch this movie anytime. The actors work together to make the plot believable. The movie is easily forgettable within an hour or so of the ending. If you and your friends want a movie that will not interfere with your socializing, this is the movie for you. Enjoy your movie and your pizza. I give it 3 thumbs up out of 10.

I strongly suspect that this direct-to-DVD sequel to the movie S.W.A.T. was set primarily in Detroit not because the screenwriters thought it would add color, but because at the time the movie was filmed, Detroit was offering a generous tax rebate to movies that filmed in the city. Actually, the Detroit backdrop *does* add a little color, giving the movie an interesting background you seldom see in movies. Unfortunately, that's about all that's positive to say about this movie. It's a cheap-looking effort. The low budget is no excuse - I've seen some amazing-looking movies shot on low budgets. Robert Patrick (what happened to his career?) is pretty much wasted in his monotone part. The worst thing, however, is how boring and tedious the whole enterprise feels. There's hardly any action, and the action sequences are brief and unexciting. Apart from the backdrop, the only other positive thing to say about this in-name-only sequel is that it makes the disappointing original movie look better.

Just watched this movie, and I must admit, I loved the first S.W.A.T movie so much, that I have watched it many times.This one, I will only ever watch again, to see a bit of CQB training to get my LARP on.It's OK, but story is simple, standard, and not surprising at all. Feels like it was made by a third rate director, who just graduated one of the better film schools, but who did it all by the book.Film is clear, good shots, and action is easy to follow. But again, it's textbook shots, so nothing there at all to impress me.Acting was sub standard, with no depth to the characters, and nothing to really make you interested in them. Only character they actually started giving a bit of depth, was the guy who was eating all the time. And then they didn't focus on him any more.So for my first review, i give it a 3. Worth watching if you like swat action. If not, stay away, you will regret it.I'm still going to buy it, but only because I like SWAT movies.

I'm convinced this movie is aimed at kids in the early teens. I mean this movie is stuffed with things that makes you go "What the f...!?".Just take the start of the movie for instance. It begins with two baddies crashing a random rich kid's party. They're demanding their money and threaten to kill everybody if they don't get it right now. In comes the SWAT. But behold suddenly that rich kid is on his own having a machine gun and shoots out a surveillance cam. WTF!? Later on the best shooter in the team gets pulled from being a sniper. For what? Not being able to hit a target with a pistol in the wrong hand? WTF!? A hostage is so scared of a villain she takes her own life. WTF!? And it continues like that for 90 minutes. So if you like action movies with tons of shootouts, loud bangs and don't mind plot holes or people behaving strangely you'll love this film. But if you expect anything more from a movie then this clearly ain't for you.
