2/4  Another bad big screen remake of a classic TV show
Based on the mid-1970's American TV series, "S.W.A.T." continues the tradition of poor big screen remakes of classic television programs.

Samuel L. Jackson plays "Hondo," a veteran Los Angeles police officer who puts together a young S... (read full)

2.5/4  S.W.A.T. Quick Review
This movie was the basic action packed and regular fighting/ romance / drama movie nothing to tell

2/4  S.W.A.T. Quick Review
Boring.

2/4  S.W.A.T. Quick Review
This movie gets one bonus star for Samuel L. and another for Michelle Rodriguez. You do the math.

1.5/4  S.W.A.T. Quick Review
Typical loud, action-heavy vehicle with a ludicrous plot serves only to crank up the violence while dialing down such things as character development, dialog and story. If all you want is action - go for it.

1.5/4  S.W.A.T. Quick Review
Simply put, not good and not really worth watching. It is kind of fun at the beginning, but from that point on, stay away!

4/5 Better than you might think

The Bottom Line:

S.W.A.T. doesn't aim very high but it avoids many of the cliches of the genre while providing some fun scenes (e.g. a plane landing on a bridge) and enough character depth to make the actors more than just cardboard cutouts; if you're looking for some action you could do far worse.

5/5 Good old fashion American Action Movie
  by Olde American (Richmond, Virginia)
Great movie, Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson are two bad a$$ American cops in Los Angeles (my current home town) when an effeminate French arms dealer tries to shmarm his way through town the LAPD takes him down (by coincidence because they check every last thing and get him for a broken tail light) and he offers 100 million dollars to anyone who can get him out of custody, so then an army of opportunistic gangsters descends upon the SWAT team who are supposed to escort him to prison, eventually of course, wholesome all-American good guys prevail over the effete delicate french criminal and his army of minions. Also there's a good jab at vegetarians thrown in when Samuel L Jackson's recruiting his team, and that's a plus.

5/5 WHAT
  by Kable (here)
An imprisoned drug kingpin offers a huge cash reward to anyone that can break him out of police custody and only the LAPD's Special Weapons and Tactics team can prevent it
