While this might not fall upon the golden pedestals of action movies like "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones" or the James Bond series, this film delivers what audiences go for...action, scoff-worthy quips, and real-time, hard-balled S.W.A.T. cops-and-robbers action.
At the end, you suddenly feel that: one, politics and red tape SUCK, two, that the terror in this world doesn't only come from overseas, and that cops who risk their necks like the real S.W.A.T. ROCK.
Simple and easy, and so is this film-watching experience. I've seen it twice already, and although its not exactly placed next to "The Godfather" or "Citizen Kane"...it's definitely some sharp-shootin', grin-bearin' fun. MOUNT UP!

Granted this kind of film doesn't take a rocket scientist (like Coppola or Stone) to direct, this movie delivers what we go to see...the "ooh" and "watch out!" moments that make movie-going FUN. Realistic and chocked with punchy, scoff-worthy laughs and little triumphs, I saw this movie three times and intend on adding it to my action-adventure collection...because apart from "The Godfather" and "Nixon" and such, this is the kind of movie that you watch with friends. Shouldn't all movies be watched on a friendly basis? I think so. SO bust out the Orville Redenbacher for this one, its a fun thriller for you AND your friends! And major props to the REAL S.W.A.T. cops who inspire this movie and risk their lives to serve and protect. These are everyday heroes, and honestly, this film shows them as heroes.
This film was a masterpiece of the fantastic world of the night. The special effects used to portray this world were particularly impressive. The only reason that would keep me from giving it a full vote of 10 would be, with my knowledge of this world from my obsession with it and research of it, there were two obvious flaws in small detail. One being that a vampire, according to legend, has no reflection and also no heart beat; both of which were included in the film. Beyond that, I have only praise for it! The acting was also some of the most outstanding I've seen and I do not believe the film could have been casted better! According to my research, vampires are supposed to be beautiful creatures, and wow, were they gorgeous in this movie. They definitely brought beauty to the dark side of life!
