An arrested drug kingpin is transported by a Los Angeles Police Department S.W.A.T. team, led by Jackson's character, out of the city and into federal custody. Plans go awry when the kingpin offers $100 million to anyone who can free him. Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez, LL Cool J, Oliver Martinez.
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

If you like colin Farell and Sameul l. Jackson than you will love this movie. There aren't a whole lot of complicated plots and angles. Basically what you see is what you get. But It the story of two partners in Swat who screw up. One goes his own way the other pays the price and gets back onto the team. International gangster appears and offers mucho dinero for anyone to get him out. There isn't a lot of Blow up and Bam, Boom Bang, but still enough to keep you on your toes and guessing

THIS REVIEW IS FOR BLU RAY. JUST RECEIVED THIS BLU RAY DISC 2 DAYS AGO AND WATCHED IT ON MY PS3. MAN! IT BLOWS ME AWAY WITH PCM AUDIO AND CLEAR PICTURE QUALITY. LOADS OF CLEAR GUN SHOOTING AND EXPLOSION SOUND. 1 STAR
OFF FOR SIMPLE STORY.

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

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!
