S.W.A.T.: The Real Story

Rating:
Summary: This real actionar surpasses the fictionalized film versions
Review: After you've seen the myriad of Hollywood films centered around "S.W.A.T." teams, you owe it to yourself to see the real thing. "S.W.A.T. THE REAL STORY" features footage from real crime and action scenes across the country, where actual procedures are utilized in apprehending criminals and diffusing dangerous situations. The footage is phenomenal, but much of it is definitely "too hot for T.V." Check it out!!!

Summary: The REAL Story....You got to be kidding me!
Review: I found a copy in a retail bargain bin and bought it out of curiosity. If you can find a copy for $5 or less, it's worth the price for sheer comedy relief. If the teams portrayed in this program actually exist, I'm amazed there aren't more fatalities during real tactical operations. The narrator continued to brag about how SWAT teams are well trained while you watch the virtual circus of ineptitude on the screen. For the sake of all that's holy, I hope this DVD remains MIA and out of stock.

Summary: This is a horrible mistake, do not purchase.
Review: This video is a classic mockumentary; it has the stereotypical Hollywood wannabe small time cops with really bad hairpieces and Village People Moustaches. The re-enactment SWAT wannabe team is so incredible poorly trained that it hurts to watch. I was insulted by the hardcore graphics claiming to have actual footage of tactical operations only to find the only real footage is the first three minutes of old tired footage of the Wats riots and the civil rights movement (not the proudest moment in Law Enforcement). The voice over was done by some high school kid as well as the Camera work on the Cops style fake footage. If you spend the money on this video, you deserve to be victimized by this sad capitalization on the blood and sweat of REAL police officers. The producers and directors should be ashamed of this product and it should have never hit bargain bin at Wal-Mart to begin with. DO NOT BOTHER TO SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS DVD!!!! I rated it one star simply becuase there is no lower rating.
