S.W.A.T. (Full Screen Special Edition)

S.W.A.T. (Full Screen Special Edition) Review

Swat (special weapons and tactics) was for 2003 probably the hottest and most exciting film of that year. Samuel Jackson is in very good shape as well as Colin O' Farrell who leader the main tactic command in L.A.

After several explosive sequences, the great end is about to come when a dangerous and requested thief once captured is sent to Federal Prison and twice he evades the legal fence.

The astonishing sequences, underground chases and the climax sequence run for you, but over the years they have become a referential cult movie, and like the good wine has overcome the acidic test of time.

Funny, exciting and entertained from start to finish. Kudos for Olivier Martinez as the French capo (Do you remember him in Unfaithful?).

S.W.A.T. (Full Screen Special Edition) Specifications

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 0 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
