It's not so much the dialogue as the atmosphere and the way the movie mixes humor with violence that made me think of Tarantino. But I admit, even if this movie has some Tarantino influences, it still stands apart in other ways.

Another thing I liked is you didn't see guys flying through the air when shot. Back when I was younger I thought it was cool, now it will ruin a movie for me.

I was pretty big into guns when I first watched it, but this was back in the days when I couldn't enjoy any movie that didn't have huge shootouts with M4s, G36s, or any high-tech military weapons being fired on full-auto. Since this movie only has a few "tacticool" weapons (the Galil and the USPs), it didn't appeal much to me then. What can I say. I have since wisened up.

Like how using a teal and yellow backpack negates the value of wearing head-to-toe camouflage?

And why does the ski-mask guy have a plastic water bottle on his chest rig?

The man is wearing all black (including a balaclava) in what I can assume is a tropical environment. I'd want water wherever I can get it.

You don't need camo in an urban environment, so it's irrelevant.

Nobody has matching weapons, and I cant believe nobody has brought up that the guy is dual wielding. Uniforms dont match. Looks more like a militia than police.
