Amazon.com Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell swagger through S.W.A.T., a guns-and-big-trucks macho extravaganza based on the 1970s TV show of the same name, about the police teams brought in to take care of extremely dangerous situations. Jackson plays a sergeant brought out of retirement to form a new squad, which includes rebellious Farrell (The Recruit) and tough babe Michelle Rodriguez (Girlfight, Blue Crush). After a lot of training and head-butting with a smarmy police captain, the squad gets assigned to transfer the head of a European crime cartel (Olivier Martinez, Unfaithful) who's declared on television that he'll give $100 million to anyone who gets him out. Every scumbag in Los Angeles descends to claim the money, turning a routine transfer into a bullet-filled gauntlet. Despite some gaps in logic and a generic flavor, S.W.A.T. will satisfy most action-movie junkies. Also featuring LL Cool J and Josh Charles. --Bret Fetzer

Action? What action? September 18, 2008 I don't expect action movie to be something more then a pure entertainment. I can swallow lack of logic and I can deal with stupid characters without any personality. But there are some things action movie needs like air that is action. Explosions, escapes, fighting scenes, some tension, few surprises and good soundtrack. It's not much, isn't it? So why oh why was I denied these simple pleasures here? "S.W.A.T." is so boring. There are few action sequences but very unimaginative. Everything is obvious and plain that you just want this stupid movie to end as quickly as possible. I like Farrell, Jackson and Rodriguez but in "S.W.A.T." any piece of wood could do their job. There's no acting, there's no story there is only too loud, badly chosen music. Shame, shame, shame
S.W.A.T August 11, 2008 Surely, one of the best movie I've seen on blu ray. Crisp & clear picture, great sound as well. One of my favorite cop movie. Highly recommend it!!!
"We're going to need guns. Lots of guns." -- Neo; The Matrix July 20, 2008 I barely remember watching the original series in the '70s, but having just seen this version, I can tell you that it was absolutely fantastic!
"The end." -- Frank Calliendo as Dubya.
FANTASTIC!!!! July 20, 2008 I saw this on a "normal" dvd. Then I decided to see it on BLU RAY. It looks great. Has some good action.
Formulaic but fun July 8, 2008 For the life of me, I don't understand why so many dog this movie. It's entertaining, well acted, and the plot is fairly original. As far as rough and tough police movies go, this one is solid the whole way through, with believable action, all sorts of spectacular gun play, and enough machismo to fill a police station armory.
Old-school sergeant Hondo (Samuel L. Jackson) gets a chance to put together an elite S.W.A.T. team, he snatches up the rebellious Street to go along with other police force lepers Chris Sanchez (Michelle Rodriguez), Deke Kay (LL Cool J), Michael Boxer (Brian Van Holt), and TJ McCabe (Josh Charles) hell-bent on proving everyone wrong. (Absolute great casting for a tough-as-nails cop drama!)
The jist of the action revolves around Alex Montel (Olivier Martinez), a criminal who makes an on-air promise to deliver $100 million dollars to whoever frees him. Naturally, every delinquent, desperado, and dreamer sees dollar signs, thereby initiating the cat and mouse game between good guys and bad guys.
Samuel L. Jackson is superb as always, dominating every scene in which he stars, and solid performances are turned in by Rodriguez, LL, and Farrell. The ending sequence is full of intrigue and excitement, with the best (only?) car/plane chase seen in cinema history. S.W.A.T. delivers what it promises: a hyper, cop tale with plenty of fast-paced action sequences, cool, likable characters, and a pretty exciting ending.
