It wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. a little on the long side..but almost nonstop action all the way through. So I give it...1 thumb up. It was enjoyable and just a bit fun. :)

I'll add "Spoilers" to my title if anyone wants to talk about the movie more in depth.



EDIT: this wasn't the post that did it....but look what my post count says... :p

i dunno. I'm not very critical of movies...unless they REALLY suck. So my opinion wouldn't really count. maybe wait for other people who've seen it to come in and give their two cents?

I wait for PPP or DVDs. For me, going to the movies is a waste of time and money. Too many inconsiderate ba$tards talking, cell phones ringing......

Critics actually liked it. It seems all action flicks this year are on the long side, just as long they are not dragged out long.

Just have to pick a place with comfy seats. ;)

One HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAAAASSSSS
Doh!!! Hehehe.... yeah, I guess it's 100 mil, not 1 mil :) LOL

face it dude, inflation, 1 million dollars isn't THAT much money anymore. i mean it's a lot of money, but not enough to drive a whole city crazy.

btw, i enjoyed the film but i also am not a highly critical person. i enjoy most films.

the movie could've been better. it sucks, IMO. I have to waste $6 and drive to theater to see it. i can simply download it, if it is not that overhyped.

Was a great action flick, but not as good as BB2.
Notice the hundreds of SureFure flashlights in the movie.

I saw it tonight with a friend, and we were both pleasantly surprised by it.

I try not to be TOO finicky about action movies, which I don't expect to be brilliant, but sometimes they annoy me by beating me over the head with how stupid they are. This one didn't. I know that sounds like faint praise, but it isn't. SWAT was reasonably intelligent, often witty, and had great action. On balance I liked it quite a bit for what it was.

SJ is clearly holding an L4, like mine, and all the guns had sweet light mods on them liek the M6.
