| Okay moviegoers, let's be honest with ourselves. This has been a miserable
summer at the movies, hasn't it? With one dreary sequel after another to
disappoint us, it hasn't been much fun. What I don't understand is why the
summer couldn't have been...more |

| Ask anyone about the mid-'70s TV action series _S.W.A.T._, and
chances are the most common--if not the only--answer you'll get is a
rendition of Rhythm Heritage's memorable, chart-topping theme song. That's
no surprise at all since that was...more |

| Susan Granger's review of "S.W.A.T" (Sony Pictures Entertainment)
Loosely adapted from the short-lived '70s TV series about the L.A.P.D.'s
Special Weapons and Tactics Force, this action picture opens with a North

| About half way through the film, you can discern
that the movie is unwisely changing directions
and shifting gears. Perhaps it's the wild finale
involving a small jet landing on a 4-lane bridge
in the middle of a city. Perhaps it's the
villain (Olivier...more |

| At multiple points I was trying to determine what is this movie
actually about? It starts out with an exciting bank robbery sequence
and a heated conflict between two men who appear to be the leads,
Colin Ferrell and Jeremy Renner (who was awesome...more |

| The notion of a summer blockbuster being adapted from a less-than-inspiring
'70s television show does not fill me with joy. And I'm not even talking
about Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. The film in question is S.W.A.T.,
which is about as close as...more |

| S.W.A.T. should be a lot of fun, but it isn't. In a continued summer of
disappointments, this new action film provides little new or exciting for weary
audiences this late into the summer season. By now we've seen it all: Mutants,
robots, angels, and...more |
