Review: This I think is a straight to DVD film and I have to ask why? The acting is no worse than most other films and the plot is a good one.

With Robert Patrick playing his usual baddie, the film wasn’t as fast passed as the trailer implied, which is usually the way.

The characters are realistic and you can empathise with them making it a more enjoyable film, looking back there seem to be a bit of a S.W.A.T franchise going on starting with SWAT from 2003 [Samuel L.Jackson, Colin Farrell]

If you watch the original the acting is slightly stunted, as a stand alone film it’s a good action film and does what it says on the tin.

8/10 – Well worth a watch [USA release date 01March 2011]
