s.w.a.t is a film that is quite high concept in its execution. It never sacrifices action for story. Its a film that follows a simple premise and wait for it..........is more enjoyable for it.
this film doesn't pretend to be anything that its not. It isn't directed by Ewe Boll or whoever he his. Its an action film to the core. high powered action scenes that are quite realistically put together in terms of tactics. For example, in the opening scene it shows s.w.a.t engaging a gang of bank robbers. s.w.a.t distract the enemies by eliminating there escape route whilst they enter from the roof and scatter themselves around the build, tap the phones, cut off cameras and send in a hard line phone to speak with there besieged enemies. Its balls tightening exciting and very edgy. And this edge doesn't cease throughout the rest of the films action sequences.
the story is a high concept one to. A french mobster is arrested and sentenced to jail time. News cameras follow the story and on air he announces a 100 million dollar reward for those who free him. And naturally everyone from here to Guantanamo bay is out to rescue him. Its retarded simple but as a device to move the story it does the job quite well.
Acting is not really a requirement of an action film such as this but excellent turns from Jacksons hard ass mentor and Farrells skilled student has a sense of chemistry about it.
In conclusion, s.w.a.t is a mar mite film. Some will love its high paced action and high production values but others will find it to simple for there highly sprung college educated minds to care. but its a perfect night in action film best watched in its newly released blue ray format for the added sound levels and better view of those amazing shoot outs.
Add another star if you have a blue ray player.
