A young hotshot is sent to Detroit where he takes charge of a SWAT team in order to certify them. No sooner is he there than a botched hostage negotiation sets deranged stalker Walter Hatch (Robert Patrick) up to have a mad-on for him.Truth be told, the first SWAT film didn't do much for me, however that film had a few things going for it that this didn't, first most no one will mistake Gabriel Macht as an action hero anytime soon. He lacks the presence. It fact this film was pretty badly miscast all the way around. The banter between admittedly fairly well-done action sequences was atrocious and Robert Patrick, whom I usually enjoy watching, was utterly wasted in this drek.

Everybody makes lots of criticizes about the that movie.But I really don't know what they really want to see ! This is all about SWAT and they showed us their jobs. A little bit action,a little bit love,a little bit friendships.We all felt this! The only thing that I don't like is;why Kyle Watters died ? Was It necessary ? What happened to happy end? They wanted to show us happy end but we didn't really felt it because of dying! We felt the team soul this is the most important part of the movie.This movie was like a weekly TV films.Maybe they can made lots of SWAT movies with same characters.Could be every year.Then it could be some kind of classic movie.7/10 Thank you !

I have been looking for a new hobby and watching this movie convinced me that writing screenplays is well within my abilities. All I have to do is watch any blockbuster cop movie from the 80's, change the actors and come up with a catch phrase for the leading actor. If I can convince someone to fund it and make a movie out of it, then I get to meet some of my favorite washed up actors. I feel so much better about myself.As for the movie, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent: Paul Cutler (aka John McClane), Walter Hatch (aka Hans Gruber), Inspector Hollander (aka Sgt. Al Powell), Kim Byers (aka Holly McClane) and McKittrick (aka Fritz). As for catch phrase, She died for your sins, now you die for yours (aka This time John Wayne does not walk off into the sunset with Grace Kelly).Too bad this movie didn't take place during Christmas as that would have been icing on the cake. Having a single name bad guy sidekick (McKittrick) was a good touch. I'm waiting for SWAT Hard 2 then SWAT Hard with a Vengeance, Live Free or SWAT Hard and finally A Good Day to SWAT Hard.

The storyline contains a clear unfair background. Can the arrogance and pride win in the real life's frame? The quote that caught my attention in the movie: "She died for your sins, now you die for yours." So what?? Where is the concordance about it inside the storyline?? The action context, the weapons, the military tactics are fun but the plot of the movie screwed up and messed up the real essence. I think this kind of movie is for DVD rental market directed to people who just wanna watch action and just that, people who do not know watching to movies indeed. I personally do not recommended for people who are looking for a complete movie.
