| 05.11.06 | Alamo Village | This was mediocre for the most part... Just another in that steady stream of diversions... like the Alex Cross movies that Morgan Freeman did or whatever... It didn't bore me but I'll probably never see it again... or if I do it'll have to be at least three years later when I forget all the details. Actually, the only really notable thing about this movie is its use of completely context-free quick montages of various generic threats and islamic jihads that seem to serve as segues between scenes. The whole movie had a real Enemy of the State style where it keeps cutting to some faceless big brother taking telephoto lensed pictures of everybody and thigns like that, but these bursts of random words overlayed on shots of DC are really laughably out of place and never serve any meaning to the movie. I really don't know what was going on with them because Clark Johnson's work on The Shield has been really great and aside from the third act completely falling apart I enjoyed S.W.A.T. Maybe he's saying that the world is full of threats so when he shows the city he wants to show all of the aggression out there that the secret service need to protect the president from... either that or they needed to fill time. blaaaaaaah |
