S.W.A.T. [Blu-ray] [2003] [US Import]

Samuel L Jackson and Colin Farrell swagger throughS.W.A.T., a guns-and-big-trucks macho ... more

extravaganza based on the 1970s TV show of the
same name, in which police teams are brought in to
take care of extremely dangerous situations.
Jackson plays a sergeant brought out of retirement
to form a new squad, which includes rebellious
Farrell and tough babe Michelle Rodriguez.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

what-was-that? editing, and a plot that has
multiple, contradictory agendas writhing like a
nest of snakes. It's all set within a few blocks
of a town square in Spain where a U.S. President
is targeted for assassination. Although the movie
lasts 90 minutes, the events it depicts are mostly
over within fifteen minutes or so--but seen,
rewound, and reseen from half a dozen different
(you guessed it) vantage points. The first line in
the credits reads "Original Film," apparently the
name of the production company. "Gimmick Movie"
might be more accurate. The opening reel,
effectively jolting, affords an initial overview
of the events through the eyes, lenses, monitors,
and duelling sensibilities of a TV news producer
(Sigourney Weaver), her activist-minded reporter
(Zoe Saldana) and crew. Everybodys in Salamanca
for the start of an international conference to

against terrorism. Terrorism, of course, sees this
as an ideal moment to break out. As gunshots and
explosions reduce everything to chaos, the clock

scene as experienced by several Secret Service
agents (namely Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox), an
American tourist with camcorder (Forest Whitaker),
sundry locals--including three who may be caught
up in a love triangle or a conspiracy or both--and
even the President himself (William Hurt).For a
while, this is mildly diverting: that guy, or that
gesture, so sinister when glimpsed across the
plaza in one run-through, now appears harmless in
closeup--or vice versa. But there's no real
ambiguity (so stop with the careless comparisons
to Kurosawa'sRashomon)--this is a shell game in
which the peas aren't worth tracking. Despite
decent actors, the characters might as well be
holograms (although poor Forest Whitaker is
saddled with "motivation" of surpassing
sappiness), and the casting telegraphs several
twists: one redoubtable good guy practically gives
a wink-wink, nudge-nudge that he's really bad,
etc. The movie declines to specify which nutjob
philosophy the terrorists espouse, and their
numbers are multi-ethnic. There's also a laborious
suggestion that they have bloodthirsty,
reactionary counterparts among the President's
inner circle, which perhaps qualifies as redeeming
socio-political comment and prompts a meaningless
declaration of deep meaning from the Prez. The
whole megilleh finally comes down to an extended
car chase through impassably claustrophobic
streets that would mark a lurch into unintentional
self-parody--if only that point hadn't been passed
a couple of rewinds earlier.--Richard T. Jameson

S.W.A.T. rocks

Advantages: great action
Disadvantages: a bit over the top

i was looking forward to seeing S.W.A.T. (special weapons and tactics) ever since i watched the American trailer July for the august 8th release there but i was amazed to find out that the UK release date was not till December which is very rare in a day where most films are released within a few weeks of each other both sides of the Atlantic or even on the same day (matrix 2+3, LOTR, X men 2 etc) so after a long 4 month wait I finally went to see it 2 weeks ago and i must say it was worth the long wait to see as it was very entertaining and not just on of those action films where the best bits are in the trailer. Director: Clark Johnson (the shield) Cast: Samuel L Jackson (changing lanes, jakie brown) Colin Farrell (the recruit, phone booth) Michelle Rodriguez (resident evil, blue crush) LL Cool J (Deep blue sea, rollerball ...

Review of S.W.A.T. (DVD)

Transformers tranform on to blu - ray

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects
Disadvantages: none

good and evil, but with cutting edge special effects and action scenes galore this is a great film to watch. The blu-ray version i watched was a 2 disc set with the second disc full of extras. There was a section on the history of transformers, and interviews with executive producers Steven Spielberg and Brian Goldner, writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and director Michael Bay. There were also features on the animation used and the way they worked out where to do scenes. You also get a look at the military equipment seen and used in the film. This additional information is something you do not want to skip over, because it gives you a much deeper understanding of how much planning and work went into the final production. If you are into cutting edge special effects and head banging action then beg, borrow, rent, or if that fails buy ...

Review of Transformers (Blu-Ray)

S.W.A.T

Advantages: Pretty good and principle
Disadvantages: result missed a bit

Jim Street (Colin Farrell) and his partner Gamble (Jeremy Renner) are members of a Los Angles S.W.A.T. unit (Special Weapons and Tactics). Gamble is a bit headstrong; when he disobeys orders (but saves the hostage) at a bank robbery he puts both of their careers in danger. The very arrogant, Capt. Fuller (Larry Poindexter) wants to demote them for their activity - Gamble quits the force but Street is willing to take his lumps in the off chance that he can rejoin S.W.A.T but he's going to have to shine a lot of boots and clean a bunch of guns before that's going to happen. "Hondo" (Samuel L. Jackson) comes back under Fuller, and is given the opportunity to recruit and train 5 cops for a new S.W.A.T. team. "Hondo" rounds up the best of the best - 2 guys he has already worked with, Boxer (Brian Van Holt) and T.J. (Josh Charles), the very ...
