SWAT has some awesome video shots in 1080p. The audio is bold.
The movie is non stop action.
I have 3 Sony Blu-ray units displaying on a Sony 1080p LCD, a Pioneer 1080p Plasma & a Sony 1080p projection unit. The video is awesome on all three.
One of those movies you either love or hate -- I enjoyed it. April 10, 2006

I saw this movie on t.v. for the first time a few days ago and now I'm buying the DVD. I'm not a big fan of action movies but I do watch them now and again. I've read quite a few negative reviews about this film and I think they are undeserved. When I saw it I thought it was good, not Diehard good, but it held its own. I really enjoyed it. I really liked the idea that they included a female member of SWAT. One never sees a woman SWAT member. It looks like this is one of those movies you either love, like, or hate. One has to make up one's own mind.
Not bad, but not good either March 6, 2006

I'm a fan of the cast, Colin (although he needs to start making better movie choices or he's going to get swept under the radar), Michelle and LL...not a huge fan of Jackson although he's not terrible (kicked @$$ in Pulp Fiction but since he's run a little tired) Anyways, that said, I just was not impressed entirly by this film. Sure it has some nice eye-candy as far as special effects and good looking actors are concerned, BUT, the plot was just a little weak and, as has been said before, uninspired. The story revolves around Jackson who is hired to put together a new S.W.A.T. team that consists of single mother Michelle and bad-boy Colin who has been penalized for a mistake made in the past and sentenced to work in the guncage. You see, Colin's former boss (played by Larry Poindexter...who just let me say was my favorite charactor) hates his guts and so is unwilling to have Colin on the team. But alas, its Jacksons team and so Colin is in. After training and such the team gets the job of transporting the head of the European crime cartel (Olivier Martinez...is it just me or is this guy the most annoying actor alive...I just hate this guy!) to the pen...the only problem is he's declared on television that he'll give $100 million to anyone who gets him out. So it only suits that every thug in the area tries to spring him. The ending has a twist, but it's a twist that you saw coming so it's not that impressive. Bottom line is, this is not a BAD movie, it's just not a GOOD one either. I mean, I own it and have watched it more than once, but it's not a film that will stick with you, not a film that will really catch your eye...it's just there. Watch it, but don't expect too much.
S.W.A.T is not B.A.D at all! February 15, 2006

I have seen a lot of negative reviews here for this movie. I think this movie is not that bad at all. If you have liked "Speed", you will probably like "S.W.A.T" too. The actions are great, and so is the photography. The director has used his imagination and with the camera he managed to get some excellent shots for the movie. However, I was little disappointed by the acting of Samuel L. Jackson, and Michelle Rodriguez (actually not expected anything from her, she has an emotionless face), but Colin Farrell, and Olivier Martinez looked great throughout the movie.
Sometimes, the movie get slow, but soon picks up with action and keeps the audience on their seat. I agree with one of the reviewer that the movie is more mechanical thriller, but still it's worth a watch. The DVD I got had all the features, except the eight deleted scenes mentioned here. The sound effects are great and you will enjoy this movie if you have a 5.1 home theater system.
