Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

S.W.A.T. (2003): Dir: Clark Johnson / Cast: Colin Farrell, Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, LL Cool J, Olivier Martinez: Here is yet the umpteenth film based on previous material that fails to transcend to the big screen because it is pure sh*t. The title represents teamwork, which was done in order to throw this junk out there and take credit for absolutely nothing. The setup involves a robbery gone wrong and the quick thinking of two S.W.A.T. officers that save a hostage. Colin Farrell is put in job reduction and betraying his trigger happy partner. Enter Samuel L. Jackson as S.W.A.T. commander whose duty is to recruit five officers. Central plot regards a captured criminal being transported until the operation goes severely wrong when he announces on TV millions of dollars to anyone who can spring him out of jail. Written with skill of a third grader. To its credit it gives insight into S.W.A.T. operations thanks to sharp directing by Clark Johnson. Farrell, Jackson, LL Cool J, and Michelle Rodriguez play out roles that may be recruits from every crime drama and action film ever made. Olivier Martinez plays a drug lord and that pretty much sums up his involvement. There are many stereotypes but that is hardly a surprise since nobody here seems to contain any original character. Well made yet familiar action film that should be swatted...with a sledge hammer. Score: 3 / 10

Title: SwatCondensed Storyline: A drug lord gets captured and offers a cash reward in the millions for anyone who breaks him out of police custody. He the tries to make the same bargain with the SWAT officers who are transporting him, so he pits the team against themselves. Notable Acting: Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell and LL Cool J all did a great job at acting their parts, the others were good, but didn't steal my attention as much as the others did. Noticeable Camera work: Establishing shots of the locations Worms eye view of the helicopter Birds eye view of the swat van rolling in 180º rotation while they are on the roof of the bank POV shot of the worm cameraIncorrect Science: A sniper tries to take down a helicopter using a .50 Caliber Rifle, he tries hooting at the rotor and takes down the helicopter. This is incorrect or highly unlikely at best because the air around the blades is displaced so much that the wind around them would throw any bullet off course. In the sewer scene the SWAT guys try and use a claymore mine to blow the hinges of a door, this is also incorrect because claymore mines are a type of fragmentation weaponry, this means they fire out shrapnel and are used for their injuring power and not their explosive power. Overall Feel: You get to see the fall of two SWAT officers and then see their re-birth once they complete training again and get to grow with their new group. Along with seeing how some of them turn on each other at a moments notice. It starts out as a buddy cop movie but then changes into something different. It is still similar to that formula, but it is altered. So that makes the movie interesting and fun to watch ultimately. My review is short because this movie is hard to find online and my ISP has blocked most of the streaming sites I normally use.

OK so, again as mention on my review on F&F not because it was film on my hometown (Los Angeles) I love this film. Has all the ingredients of an action movie. Probably seen this plot on other movies BUT what makes this a blockbuster hit is I believe the names that bring to life these characters. Starting out with Samuel L. Jackson (then again not all his movies are that great) but, when you combine him with Collin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Renner you get this results. Looking into more details the chemistry between Renner and Farrell makes the cilmax of this film adding some old school with Jackson, and sexiness with Rodriguez, obviously comedy with LL Cool J too you can simply mix and match to get a positive result. In this case you can somehow link all their characters in order to have this movie work out and give you at the end an entertaining action movie. Maybe not the best acting, no high end special effects, not the best soundtrack (although the theme song is catchy ¨Nananaaa nananaaaa na-na-na¨ haha Well do recommend this movie to be seen and again I am not someone who study film or any of that just someone who simply enjoys movies like these. This is definitely my number two best movie

Really a waste of time, and not even worth listening to the soundtrack with your eyes shut. I do still remember the Original Show of 1975 - 1976. Saying this was based on it only can be believed by those who did not see the original. I thought Samuel Jackson was a great actor, but having taken part in this "remake" makes me doubt he is capable of choosing the projects submitted to him and taking the good ones. I don't even consider the possibility of a woman belonging to a SWAT team. I still believe that women should not be exposed to the dangers of this kind of police work.I haven't seen anything more disgusting than the scene of the limo chasing the executive jet and the fight in the railways. My score of 1 is due to the fact that there are no Zero or negative values on the scale. Awful is an overrating
