S.W.A.T. was okay. I thought the plot was pretty disjointed, and the stuff that was supposed to build character only distracted from the action. It's an "also ran" in this list of summer action flicks, and just like Trainspotter, didn't really seem like more than a bunch of action sequences. One sentence will describe most of the scenes in the movie: "Lots of people crouching in the dark, being anxious". It was weird how no one really bled in the movie (now, head injuries are usually very bloody). Anyway, it passes the time.
Tonight we saw The Hurt Locker at LSC. War movies are not my favorite genre, and I was afraid to watch some parts of it. There were more than a handful of intense scenes that required me to shield my eyes. I thought the actor and drama was really riveting, the character development of the main character was fascinating. It is clear that sometimes, people get addicted to doing something they feel is important and they get a high from it. However, once you have a social responsibility, it seems like it can't end well if you give up your passion for a stable life. It was definitely an interesting movie, and shows that there are a lot of tough choices to be made for people who are exceptionally talented.
