If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Good start, but then it gets ruined
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Since the two woman are bad people, why are they fight so hard and one been knocked out?
A SWAT compound comes under fire from an international terrorist who relentlessly and violently pursues a mystery man who was apprehended by Seattle SWAT after a raid went horribly wrong. S.W.A.T.: Under Siege is a film or a sequel at this point that i didn't expect to like but little did i knew. This movie is action packed from start to finish sure it's full of one liners, over the top action and cgi blood but that's why i liked it in the first place. Plus where else are you going to see Michael Jai White killing a bunch of dudes with a Minigun? It's fun, it's gory and most of all it has Michael Jai White and Adrianne Palicki killing @ss and taking names. I loved the first 2 movies and i sure as hell i enjoyed this installment too.
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the third "S.W.A.T" film, it's unrelated and even worse than the previous ones. Because of it's limited budget almost the entire story takes place in one building and is basically a rip-off from "Assault On Precinct 13".The cast is wooden and unbelievable and only one actor is worth mentioning (and the only familiar face) Michael Jai White. He once fought Van Damme (Universal Soldier: The Return) and Seagal (Exit Wounds) and is a real Martial Arts actor (also see Undisputed II for that). So that was over 10 years ago but he still looks great (certainly compared to Seagal..) Because of that fact we have a couple of decent (not great) fight scenes but the rest of the cast completely lacks acting- and fighting skills. The shooting is bad, so is the godawful CGI blood. Many ridiculous moments in the story:The Commander of the team gets knocked out easily a couple of times by the bad guys (a S.W.A.T. Commander that is..).A S.W.A.T. team filled with 'tough' women ?When a MiniGun is fired from a van, it kills 2 people but there isn't a single bullet hole in the building right behind them.. I'm not kidding here. In real life it should have leveled the entire building but than again, that's were the entire movie takes place so a no-no for the writers. "S.W.A.T." (2003) was, despite a good cast, a disappointing PG-13 film but compared to this it's Oscar material.
I actually enjoyed this movie - very happy with the quality and the premise - reasonably okay with the direction and dialogue. Granted it could have been even better - anything can be improved - but it was still an enjoyable film which managed to get us to care about some of the characters. Cinematography was good, fights scenes were good and happy enough to give it a 7/10. Sam Jaeger was great in the lead role and Adrianne Palicki is always a delight to watch - and even Michael Jai White did a surprisingly good job. Worth watching!
