Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson are two of Hollywood's most bankable stars and this all-action outing has them up to their necks in automatic weapons, taking on the bad guys....

Farrell is Jim Street, a member of the elite Special Weapons And Tactics arm of the LAPD. However, his partners rash actions, combined with Jim's unwillingness to grass him up, sees him kicked off SWAT and given a job arming his colleagues from the safety of the station. However, when the maverick Sgt. Hondo (Jackson) is called upon to put together his own unit comprising of the best of the best, he picks Jim. With the team in place Hondo has his first mission - transport a high-security prisoner (Olivier Martinez) to jail. Unfortunately for Hondo and co., this crim has just let it be known that he'll pay $100 million to anyone who can bust him out.

S.W.A.T. pretty much does what it says on the tin so don't expect a TV-update of the 70's series. This is no relation! People get shot, things get blown-up, there's double-crosses, love interests and male-bonding galore - but it's all done with a sense of humour and style, making this a winner for anyone who likes their movies loud and lively.
