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. Although S.W.A.T goes over the top some times over it's running time it's still a very enjoyable action flick with a really great cast including Samuel L Jackson and Colin Farrell and i think everyone did a great job the performances for a movie of this scale were pretty good not perfect but not bad also. Also like i said the movie has explosions and action every goddamn second it just never really stopped. I'm going to give S.W.A.T (2003) a A and a 10 out of 10 pretty good action flick.

No it ain't arty or intellectual or the sort of movie stuffy industry types will give an award to, but give me this over most of the highly rated snooze-fests any day. Great action sequences, cool characters, snappy dialogue, lots of explosions etc etc. I loved it, kept my attention and didn't bore me like so many movies seem to do these days. Yeah it could have done with some improvements, especially it's over-use of clichés, but I really couldn't care less. It entertained me and I enjoyed watching every minute of it. That's all that matters to me. If I want "intellectual" I'll go read a boring book or take a course at University. I recommend this to people who love action movies and don't take life too seriously. It's not the best of them but it's a damn good one.

Title: SwatCondensed Storyline: A drug lord gets captured and offers a cash reward in the millions for anyone who breaks him out of police custody. He the tries to make the same bargain with the SWAT officers who are transporting him, so he pits the team against themselves. Notable Acting: Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell and LL Cool J all did a great job at acting their parts, the others were good, but didn't steal my attention as much as the others did. Noticeable Camera work: Establishing shots of the locations Worms eye view of the helicopter Birds eye view of the swat van rolling in 180º rotation while they are on the roof of the bank POV shot of the worm cameraIncorrect Science: A sniper tries to take down a helicopter using a .50 Caliber Rifle, he tries hooting at the rotor and takes down the helicopter. This is incorrect or highly unlikely at best because the air around the blades is displaced so much that the wind around them would throw any bullet off course. In the sewer scene the SWAT guys try and use a claymore mine to blow the hinges of a door, this is also incorrect because claymore mines are a type of fragmentation weaponry, this means they fire out shrapnel and are used for their injuring power and not their explosive power. Overall Feel: You get to see the fall of two SWAT officers and then see their re-birth once they complete training again and get to grow with their new group. Along with seeing how some of them turn on each other at a moments notice. It starts out as a buddy cop movie but then changes into something different. It is still similar to that formula, but it is altered. So that makes the movie interesting and fun to watch ultimately. My review is short because this movie is hard to find online and my ISP has blocked most of the streaming sites I normally use.
