S.W.A.T. (2003)

Sure, S.W.A.T. wasn't aiming to get a Golden Globe or an Oscar, but if you are looking for a refined movie like The Danish Girl or whatever else is Oscar bait this season, then please vacate the cinema seat now. S.W.A.T. is pure fun and escapism for any time of the day. Even if you haven't seen the TV series upon which this fine movie is based, it's still definitely worth watching and demands our attention.Clark Johnson is an actor I recall from his impressive performance in one of my favorite series, Homicide: Life on the Street. He's the director of S.W.A.T. and he doesn't disappoint taking the helm of a huge budget movie with huge stars.

S.W.A.T. caught my interest from the first time I saw the trailer and TV Spots for the film back in 2003 I knew this was a film I would want to see in theaters and I'm glad I did, I saw it opening night in 2003. It still reminds one of my favorite movies I saw in theaters and that I have on DVD. The film features the cast of Colin Farrell, Samuel L.Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, LL Cool J, Josh Charles, Jeremy Renner, Brian Van Holt, Olivier Martinez. And the film help made Jeremy Renner a star, Samuel L.Jackson once again shows what he could do with a character like his, Colin Farrell makes a good protagonist and it's good to see Michelle Rodriguez getting a chance to shine. What I like most about this film is the plot which is not something you see all the time in a action film and from the start it had my interest and I don't want to give it away because it's better if you watch the film for yourself.What also makes this film awesome to watch is the action and stunt scenes that happen in the film are extreme it like they wanted us to never know what happens next and this movie has a lot of those.It will have you on the edge of your seat as you watch the film with moments you won't never see coming that's what the movie reward you with is that it is hardly predictable I remember everyone's reaction in the film was amazed as the film is action packed and it deserves me credit than it deserves.Those in the theater were not disappointed as this film is no guessing what goes down next I'm serious if you just take the time to watch the movie with a open mind you'll be reward with super action scenes and tense moments it's a film you should look past the junk and see the treasureI give S.W.A.T. an 10 out of 10 still love it since I saw it in theaters

OK so, again as mention on my review on F&F not because it was film on my hometown (Los Angeles) I love this film. Has all the ingredients of an action movie. Probably seen this plot on other movies BUT what makes this a blockbuster hit is I believe the names that bring to life these characters. Starting out with Samuel L. Jackson (then again not all his movies are that great) but, when you combine him with Collin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Renner you get this results. Looking into more details the chemistry between Renner and Farrell makes the cilmax of this film adding some old school with Jackson, and sexiness with Rodriguez, obviously comedy with LL Cool J too you can simply mix and match to get a positive result. In this case you can somehow link all their characters in order to have this movie work out and give you at the end an entertaining action movie. Maybe not the best acting, no high end special effects, not the best soundtrack (although the theme song is catchy ¨Nananaaa nananaaaa na-na-na¨ haha Well do recommend this movie to be seen and again I am not someone who study film or any of that just someone who simply enjoys movies like these. This is definitely my number two best movie

Really a waste of time, and not even worth listening to the soundtrack with your eyes shut. I do still remember the Original Show of 1975 - 1976. Saying this was based on it only can be believed by those who did not see the original. I thought Samuel Jackson was a great actor, but having taken part in this "remake" makes me doubt he is capable of choosing the projects submitted to him and taking the good ones. I don't even consider the possibility of a woman belonging to a SWAT team. I still believe that women should not be exposed to the dangers of this kind of police work.I haven't seen anything more disgusting than the scene of the limo chasing the executive jet and the fight in the railways. My score of 1 is due to the fact that there are no Zero or negative values on the scale. Awful is an overrating
