Description
Television director/actor Clark Johnson makes an impressive feature-film debut with S.W.A.T. Inspired by the 1970s show of the same name, S.W.A.T. is set in modern day Los Angeles. Recently demoted officer Jim Street (Colin Farrell) gets a chance to redeem himself when aging veteran Hondo (Samuel L. Jackson) is put in control of a new team. Joining Jim are Deke Kay (LL Cool J), Michael Boxer (Brian Van Holt), T.J. McCabe (Josh Charles), and Chris Sanchez (Michelle Rodriguez), all outcasts in their own right. But after an intense training period, the team is ready to hit the streets. Their first big assignment involves one of the world's most dangerous criminals, Alex Montel (Olivier Martinez), who makes an on-camera declaration that he'll give $100 million to whoever breaks him out of jail. Pretty soon, everyone's trying to get a piece of the action, including Jim's former partner, Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner), who uses his own S.W.A.T. team experience to plot the escape of a lifetime. It's up to Hondo and Jim to outsmart the bad guys and make sure that Alex is safely transported to a federal penitentiary. S.W.A.T. is an entertaining adventure made all the more engaging because of the way Johnson concerns himself equally with the quality of the film's drama and its action.

S.W.A.T.
Created: 24/06/08
) Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

S.W.A.T. is the type of movie that can be either side of the same coin, so your enjoyment of it will greatly depend on your expectations going in. The trailer might have you thinking that it's another no-brain action film with stunts and explosions galore. Yes, it is that, but to limit it there would be doing a great disservice to it. It's an offbeat action flick, semi-comedic in its own natural fashion, borrowing elements from police dramas and comedies liberally, mixing the elements together and making its own unique flavor. Call it Dirty Harry meets Death Wish meets Police Academy meets Lethal Weapon. Call it anything but a remake of the hit television show of the 1970s.

Great action packed movie from start to finish. Old tough guy Harrelson (Jackson) recruits cops for a new S.W.A.T. team, they have to be super fit through rigorous training, but that's the easy bit! as the are on a mission to catch the bad guys the have to face discrimination, loyalty and trust. BRILLIANT!! One to watch.

Taking one for the team!
Created: 14/10/07
Super fast high speed film, the start is based on a real event were the police found they were out gun'd. Great shots and great sound make you feel the slugs as they fly around. Its not always good to back up a team member, taking one for the team and you could end up cleaning bootsand re-calibrating an PDW 9 mil just to inpress your sargent to get the hell back on the team. Super film
Great Family Film
Created: 23/03/09
What I liked about this film was that it was a family film, it was exeptional for an all action usa cop movie. Pleanty of action and a good story line. I would have no trouble leaving a youngster watching it. It had a humerous side too. No swearing (once moderate). Samuel L Jackson being one of my favourite stars, as usual gave him best. He had to pick and train 5 of the best for a new special weapons and tactical team. They have to spring into action to retreave a drug lord who have offered a bounty to any one who could spring him from prison. This is where the film springs into action. I will not say any more as I would spoil the film for you. I would have no problem recommending this film.
