Reviews: S.W.A.T.

On Tuesday, December 30, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment will release the last big hit of the summer, S.W.A.T., starring Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and LL Cool J.

In the explosive action-thriller, inspired by the ’70s television series, Farrell portrays Jim Street, an L.A.P.D. officer whose recent demotion to a desk job leaves him desperate for a second chance to don the elite S.W.A.T. uniform. That break comes when team commander Hondo (Jackson) is assigned to recruit and train five top-notch officers for a new Special Weapons and Tactics unit (S.W.A.T.). After weeks of rigorous physical training, the new team is quickly thrown into action when a notorious drug lord (Martinez) offers a $100 million reward to anyone who can free him from police custody. While accompanying the drug lord out of Los Angeles into the hands of the Feds, the S.W.A.T. team is pursued by a dangerous and well-armed band of reward seekers.

We’ve gotten an early look at the Widescreen Special Edition DVD and you can check out our very positive review here.
