---|---|---|---|---|
"Likely won't please fans of the original TV series, but the movie hasn't been made for them" | ||||
"Lots of buildings and cars explode, but there isn't a spark between any of the characters." | ||||
"Though the film's second half has some good action moments, it never fulfills the promise of its earliest scenes" | ||||
"Serviceable, wholly uninspired" | ||||
"A compendium of missed opportunities, uninspired action and clichés so tired, you wish the screenwriters had called 911, too" | ||||
"As summer shoot-'em-ups go, this is pretty well executed, with plenty of macho posing and gunfire" | ||||
"What we have here is a model for the paint-by-numbers, perfectly generic, proudly soulless summer action flick. An original idea would die for lack of oxygen in S.W.A.T" | ||||
"Technically clever but emotionally bankrupt...it's an almost laughably opportunistic movie" |
