This movie didn't get off to the best of starts let me tell you. I get to the movie and naturally, I want some nachos. Well turns out, people who don't like salsa get the screws. I want both trays filled with cheese, which for some reason costs an extra dollar. If anyone has a theory on this, by all means let me know. Anyway, like a sucker I paid it. Then, after getting my nachos, I walk through a hole in the line to my right and bump into a hyperactive kid. I apologize to the kid, and her mother....all is well right? Well the woman says "Stand here honey, some people don't know how to walk around" I smiled and apologized yet again. So if you read this Shan the Man says you can fuck off you ignorant bitch. Now let's get ot the movie.
Finally I get to review a movie in which critics hated and I moderatly enjoyed. That's why we started this site was to give our two cents about movies. Unlike other summer blockbusters this summer, SWAT didn't blow everything up that it could get it's budget on. Granted there were explosions, but they in some way affected the plot. Generally, I enjoyed everything this movie brought to the table. Being a fan of Colin Farrell's work, I naturally have nothing bad to say about his performance. He was Farrell-esque with his cocky ways and cutesy one liners. The supporting cast was also top notch. Sam Jackson seemed to be at the top of his game, and the dude who railed Diane Lane in Unfaithful was convincing as the dirty french rich guy. On the downside, there's Michelle Rodriguez. I don't think there's anything she could do that I would like, and that includes driving to my house and making me her sex puppet. Her characters always end up being the same, and in the process always coming across as a man with huge breasts. Maybe I'm just a cynical asshole, but that's my opinion on her. Back to the movie, the pace of this movie was top notch, no slow spots, and at just under 2 hours, not too long. SO based on 2 hours of perfectly paced entertainment, SWAT get a solid 8/10 from this guy.
