Amazon.co.uk Review
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) 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 flavour, S.W.A.T. will satisfy most action-movie junkies. --Bret Fetzer

It is carried along well by engaging performances from Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell. The film delivers plenty of highly charged action. This is nicely balanced with the time we spend getting to know the newly formed S.W.A.T. team, as we follow them through their training and ultimately as they work to accomplish their mission.
There is also a short sequence where we see what the team members do on their day off which adds an albeit brief insight into their characters. Dotted throughout the film are a few lighter hearted moments, should the tension of life as a S.W.A.T. officer be too much.
Not a particularly thought provoking film but very watchable nonetheless.
Colin Farrell is busted from the SWAT team by his commander, somewhat unfairly. He's rejected by other members but chooses to take his punishment and try to get in.
Samuel L. is the "maverick" told to choose an elite team. The same commander hates him and wants him to fail but, you guessed, Sam proves him wrong.
The plot is serviceable. The acting is, in some cases, phoned in but the action is thumping.
Highly recommended.
I watched the original series when I was a child, it was shown late at night and I can vividly remember... Read more
