Now..why in the world didn't the sniper take them out before letting at least 3 cops/civilians be shot.
Later,Samuel L Jackson states that "SWAT is about saving lives,not taking them"
wtf?

I just watched SWAT last night. Holy Hollywood ridiculous.
I couldn't believe the SWAT Snipers just watched while two bank robbers were outside, in the open, firing full-auto AK-47s and shooting down cops. They shoot one when he gets behind the wheel of a car, why did they wait?
Also puzzling, the SWAT troops were carrying M4s, wtf, SWATs standard weapon is an MP5 using 9MM. M4 have way too much velocity for city use with civilian bystanders. I think the director thought he was making a Military movie based on Rainbow Six.
Other oddities, SWAT guns running out in the open and charging bad guys hiding behind cover, what tactic is that? The get shot in open super guy move?
But seriously, SWAT is a perfect example of overblown Topgun style flashy, good looking but dumb as hell combat action.
---------------------------
I agree with the rest on Windtalkers. The same flashy, good looking but dumb as hell moves as SWAT. Sniping with a Tommy Gun, OMG, funny stuff there. Close range artillery that doesn't blow Nic Cage into kibbles 'n bits . . .
--------------------------
Saving Private Ryan, Way Of The Gun and Heat are among my favorites for gritty, brutally realistic combat action. Some people in Hollywood understand how to make a 'realistic' movie containing combat. It also means the movies usually have a 'R' rating.
--------------------------
So , remember, 'R' rating usually means hardcore, realistic action . . . well mostly.
