Review – SWAT

I swear these things are being written by machines. Only a computer could pack this many clichés and predictable plot twists into less than two hours’ worth of movie. But hey, why not? Computers do most of our special effects. They’ve even replaced actors in some recent Hollywood successes. Surely writers couldn’t be that far behind. The product of this miracle of scriptwriting technology is an action movie made entertaining almost exclusively by the quality of the gun battles. Guys in particular need to take care to stay clear of football games and weightlifting for at least 24 hours prior to taking in this flick in order to avoid testosterone poisoning. But surprises that wouldn’t surprise a 12-year-old notwithstanding, at least it wasn’t boring. Mildly amusing
