Direct to video with no name actors expect maybe Robert Patrick


I'm German born and raised but have dual citizenship as my husband and our youngest of 3 daughters were US born. My husband is 3rd Japanese American but his US extended family is 7 gens. We met during University in Med school so we are both MD's. Anyway he comes from a large military and LE family (his dad's side) except for him and a sister (who is a MD as well) his 3 brothers are in LE 2 work in Civilian police and one in Federal Law enforcement. One brother is a CHP motor officer/CA state trooper and the other is a LAPD officer. His twin brother is a ATF field agent. All former military, even my hubby did residency in the military and finished as a Major.

His family is also very big into guns and many own companies in the industry my husband is part owner of his family's very large retail gun shop and range. And my husband has a large gun collection (3 digit range) but even as a young MD we're still in our early 30's we and or he knows a lot about guns and training as he takes carbine and pistol combat courses and competes in competitions.

Pardon the rant but my point is his family knows and works with guns and LE. And this movie is so HOLLYWOOD and looks like it was made for all those COD kids. My brother is also a cop in Germany. And ALL of my family and friends in that line of work laugh at all these films. They are all so unrealistic.

But worst of all like most Hollywood films today the story is bad and whats with you Yanks and movie endings Ive not seen a decent ending for any film since the early 90's nowadays its all like video games, the films run like music videos with 500mph edits I mean some films actually make me get nausea.

NO originality at all and the worst of any US made film these days are again the endings. Its all the same. And why we never watch any Hollywood film or any media etc. We watch pre 2000 films, foreign or independent films or shows. And the only we or I see crappy films like this are at parties or in the break room at work.

Again sorry for the long rant but got a cold and can't sleep so bored as heck. So trying to tire myself by ranting here, YT or Facebook as MD I hardly have the time to play on my Laptop or PC. ;) Oh yeah saw this just a few minutes ago as it was on so what the heck, but man it was terrible even for a B movie. The story was so lame even the other big budget SWAT film was bad but this one is THE worst SWAT film yet. Oh and my brother n Law who works for the ATF? He's a tactical team member. And he never watches films about the military or LE as he said its a disservice to the real men and women who do this kind of work.

I agree 1000% Watch documentary's or such as its way more interesting and accurate or take a carbine course like we do at least once a year with our favorite instructor Chris Costa. My whole family knows and carry's concealed handguns with permits of course and yes I'm ranting again but who cares its only a IMDB forum or the internet land of the BS. LOL. Like I said BORED. Or if you are able join the police or the military and stop posing on the web. My favorite gun is my custom made (Remington/Bushy still don't have the barrels they promised) SBR'ed ACR with 10in barrel and suppressor and my .45 HK compact tactical. Yes I'm a trained, gun loving MD LOL ;)

Dr.Nichole A. MD. AKA Nicky was here.

I never revisit posts. Also too busy and mature to argue.

Yeah, right, too mature to argue. That mature you constantly make a fool of films, and call Americans you Yanks. Also, SWAT: Firefight is a poor film, but not for the reasons you state. A film being far fatched isn't a problem. You moan about it being unrealistic, but give Inglorius Basterds 10 out of 10. Yeah cause that's really true to life. I forgot about Hitler being murdered in a cinema. Also like other posters have stated, I call *beep* on you being an MD. Any one I know in this profession would not have the time to watch 2000+ movies and post on IMDB the amount that you do.
