Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/05/2011
When it's not touting B movie stars like Loken and Robert Patrick, it does a damn fine job as an action film and a crime thriller... Go to Full Review

7/10
Hardly fresh or original, but S.W.A.T.: Firefight is an enjoyable, action-packed follow-up to the 2003 original and one of the better DTV titles out there. Go to Full Review

Amusing in the moment, with a merry junk food cinema rhythm, the low-budget follow-up isn't nearly as brawny as the original feature, electing video game stylistics and movie-of-the-week plotting to dream up a new adventure. Go to Full Review

Orlando M. @RT26043381 1d SWAT: Firefight is an over-the-top action film that mistakes constant action for quality storytelling. The plot is so implausible that it becomes difficult to take seriously, relying on scenarios that would never happen in reality, even by action-movie standards. The acting ranges from wooden to unintentionally laughable, while the dialogue often feels forced and melodramatic. The protagonist is portrayed as a flawless hero but comes across as pretentious rather than compelling. Supporting characters are little more than stereotypes, with virtually no backstories, development, or emotional depth. As a result, there is little reason to care about anyone on screen. The directing and editing are equally mediocre, delivering generic action sequences without tension, creativity, or memorable moments. Ultimately, SWAT: Firefight is a shallow, unbelievable, and forgettable thriller that fails on nearly every level.

See more Michael D @0redeyes0 Dec 26 Uses the young cop, high testosterone, weak dialog, high action recipe to somewhat entertain for a while. Anyone that has watched any of these formulaic movies, with the over used predictable scripts would be immediately bored. However, if you are willing to turn-off your predictions and forecasts of what is about to happen, it's a tolerable movie. A few B role stars are present, but for the most part assume you're watching young actors try to get through their first paid roles. See more Ray C @RT17651982 Dec 11 As far as cheap direct-to-video action movies go, you could definitely do a lot worse than S.W.A.T.: Firefight. See more Andy H @RT62449086 Sep 13 Lots of action but not believable and OTT American heroes style SWAT team. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
