S.W.A.T. (2003)
6/10
Run of the mil action film
23 April 2019
S.W.A.T is as one would expect giving the plot synopsis and overall theme. The film starts off with Jim Street (Colin Farrell) and his partner Gamble (Jeremy Renner) being part of SWAT and on a mission. Gamble ignores a direct order and a hostage is wounded. Gamble is fired from SWAT and Street is sent to cage duty. Six months later Lt. Dan "Hondo" Harrelson (Samuel L. Jackson) starts to head SWAT. He puts Street back on along with a few others (the only standout is LL Cool J) and they go into training. Then a vicious French killer (Olivier Martinez) corrupts in L.A. and SWAT may have more than they can handle on their hands.

There isn't nothing that original or special about the film, but it does provide some decent action scenes. The ending finale was also a nice touche as it wasn't completely predictable, and the action does deliver down late. Other than that, SWAT does fulfill for some action fans but don't expect a great story film with much suspense of thrills..
