So much average
Great Film overall
A Disappointing Continuation
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
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.
An absolutely abysmal movie, I have nothing good to say at all about it -it has diabolical acting, script and action sequences - the lead man gets knocked out 3 times I think, the whole thing is laughable and if I was one of the "actors" in this film (and I use the term loosely) I would be ashamed to put it on my CV. Avoid like the plague.
"S.W.A.T.: Under Siege" should delete its writer's credit and replace it with a line crediting everybody who has written an action film in the past. The plot draws heavily from "Assault on Precinct 13" and "Safe House," with a lot of familiar tropes seen in dozens of genre films. What few mild surprises the plot offers generally happen off-screen, although it is not easy to predict which characters will die, who will kill whom and the order of their demises. The biggest surprise seems borrowed from "Showdown in Little Tokyo" and is surprising only because the film hadn't yet developed the characters – although, to their credit, it is a great improvement on the SILT scene. The bad guys who are really good and the good guys who are really bad could have simply worn T- shirts identifying themselves. The dialogue alternates between pretentious, execrable, familiar and unnecessary. Production values are generally adequate, although marred by over-reliance on distracting jiggly-cam shots. However, the fight scenes are capably executed. Michael Jai White is highly proficient and other cast members demonstrate considerable skill as well, including Marsden, Zagorsky, Jaeger and Palicki. The fight choreography is competent, although uninspired. The special effects incorporated into the numerous gun battles are handled well. Advocates of diversity in films should be encouraged by the ethnically diverse cast. However, skeptics will note that most of the Asian, Hispanic and black performers are in background roles and underutilized. The director seems to have attempted to give a couple of them more screen time with prolonged noble demises, but the shots seem more distracting than empowering. White delivers his dialogue with a heavy accent and another character is given an urban 'tude, but as in many films with large casts, the diversity seems more a result of casting decisions than screen writing choices.
This movie is exactly what a B-movie should be:Fast and fun.The plot is easy to follow,there no twist or turning point surprise me,non of the characters annoying or make stupid decisions.The kill count is high and see Michael Jai White kick plenty of ass is as awesome as ever cause this is one of his better movie in while some time.There not much flaws i can pinpoint out of this movie beside the extremely dumb bad guys and how not a single person in this movie have cell phone.Overall it a fun time and i definitely need check out other S.W.A.T movie
