If you are looking for an exciting movie, then you should see this. I did feel, though, like some parts of the plot were very underdeveloped

And our boy Colin has a potty mouth! Last week when he was on The Today Show, Katie Couric was interviewing him and you could tell she had the hots for him. Well he said f'ing, not once, but twice and the sensors must still have been asleep, cause they didn't bleep it out. Colin apologized immediately and was embarassed, but I guess he's used to cussing in his everyday language.

But it is amazing that he is able to put away his Irish accent, which is quite heavy, when playing American roles. The movie itself was disappointing to me, as CMS said, some of the plot was underdeveloped. There were some good action scenes, but some of the humor seemed misplaced. This should have been a serious movie with some funny moments. But the director put humor in areas where it wasn't needed.

But I'm sure we will be seeing a sequel. Hopefully now that we've been introduced to the characters, the next one will deal more with actual S.W.A.T. tactics. Think Die Hard, but instead of Bruce Willis we have the entire S.W.A.T. team.

I actually thought the movie was great! Some of the plotlines were underdeveloped, but in fairness the movie did have to introduce nearly a dozen unique characters with individual backstories and still keep the movie under two hours.

This one will easily top $100 million. It was set up in a way that practically assured sequel, and will all the backstories they could take the franchise in any direction in the event Colin or Sam or anyone else decides not to come back.

Well if Colin or Sam decided not to come back, it would be the same as if Arnold does not come back for T4, just another 'C' movie sequel.

I dont know if anybody mentioned this but Jeremy Renner (who played Gamble)) was on a reality show called "The It Factor". He did Dahmer as well.

He is the only reason I saw this movie (although Collin's part coulda dragged me there), because I love love love him.

The show was about struggling actors. In the last episode Jeremy had to choose between doing this movie or doing this movie he really wanted to do with Luke Wilson, because its where he wanted to go artistcally. But SWAT paid for his house.

I absolutley love him!
