S.W.A.T. was released in the United States on August 8th 2003 by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures banner. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $207 million worldwide. S.W.A.T. is a 2003 American action crime thriller film based on the 1975 television series of the same name. Written by David Ayer and David McKenna, with the story credited to Ron Mita and Jim McClain, directed by Clark Johnson and produced by Neal H. Moritz, the film stars Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez, LL Cool J, Josh Charles, Jeremy Renner, Brian Van Holt and Olivier Martinez. Like the 온라인카지노추천 series, the film revolves around a police Special Weapons and Tactics team operating in Los Angeles California. The plot follows Hondo (Jackson) and his SWAT team as they are tasked to escort an imprisoned drug kingpin/international fugitive to prison after he offers a $100 million reward to anyone who can break him out of police custody. Plans for a film adaptation of the 1975 온라인카지노추천 series began in the 1990s, but never materialized until the early 2000s. Some say the 2003 movie S.W.A.T. has mixed reviews, with some critics finding it predictable and others finding it entertaining. Some say the movie is so predictable and lacks surprises. Others say the movie is a rehash of Top Gun. Some say the characters are generic and lack distinctiveness. Critics went so far saying it was a waste of time and lacks excitement, is tedious and boring. But I don't agree with that. Some say the villain is awkward and spends most of the movie in custody. Yeah so... where else should he be? Some say the movie is sloppy, with gangs trying to rescue the villain at the same time. I thought that was such a cool plot twist. But some do say the movie is entertaining and has a great soundtrack. It has a likable cast and fun, if not cool scenes with believable action sequences. Even Roger Ebert said "half an hour into watching “S.W.A.T.,” I realized the movie offered pleasures that action movies hardly ever allow themselves anymore. The characters had dialogue and occupied a real plot, which involved their motivations and personalities. In a S.W.A.T. team training scene, the trainees are running toward a target while shooting, and somebody asks, “No rolls?” The veteran cop in charge replies: “They only roll in John Woo movies–not in real life.” That’s the point with “S.W.A.T.” This isn’t a John Woo movie, or “Bad Boys 2,” or any of the other countless movies with wall-to-wall action and cardboard characters. It isn’t exactly real life, either, and I have to admit some of the stunts and action scenes are a shade unlikely, but the movie’s ambition is essentially to be the same kind of police movie they used to make before special effects upstaged human beings. “S.W.A.T.” is a well-made police thriller, nothing more. No Academy Awards. But in a time when so many action pictures are mindless assaults on the eyes, ears and intelligence, it works as superior craftsmanship."

This is a good action movie I don't way it gets so much hate I for one enjoyed it Lot of good action I enjoyed the characters I love coming back to this movie

This movie is a slog to get through. It takes forever for the movie to get going, and by the time it does, you either turned it off or are left wondering why they wasted so much of your time. It takes over an hour for the plot to actually start, as the first hour is dedicated to building the team and getting to know the characters. However, these characters are incredibly bland and forgettable and have very little personality to them. It makes you wonder why they didn't just start the plot after the 15 minute mark and make these characters already a team to begin with. I mean how do you make me forget that Samuel L. Jackson is in your movie? During that hour, you are teased with the main antagonist of the film, but he is the most uninteresting and forgettable antagonist I've ever seen. The only thing that is memorable about him is the fact that he was brought in because of a busted tail light on his car. They try to build him up as this big threat, but everything you see of him is either incredibly pathetic or generic street level villain. It's secondary villain is introduced within the first 15 minutes, but doesn't become a major part in the plot again until past the 1 hour mark, which again, makes you wonder for over an hour why you are even watching this and why they didn't just have the team already established and move onto the next plot point and lace character moments and building throughout the film. Loading the front half of the movie with it, and leaving the back half for the plot to occur makes the pacing insufferable to get through. Especially since the plot itself is rather basic and generic once you remove all the bloat. Once the plot actually starts, the action sequences are serviceable enough, but again lack anything to make them stand out. The performances in this movie can also be described as serviceable enough. You can tell everyone is trying with the material, but the material isn't interesting enough for them to make it memorable, making them feel flat and lifeless. To say that the movie is a slow burn would imply that the fire was ever lit. It isn't interesting. It isn't thrilling. It is a waste of time.

S.W.A.T. (2003) entertaining time from it's likeable cast, the goofiness & that competitive macho banter of the 80s within early 2000s time frame with it's nu metal soundtrack. Just perfect fun & action.

Classic 2000's movie with a great soundtrack and equally great writing + acting.

highly entertaining with Samuel L Jackson kicking ass and Colin Farrel in his haydays as a cool SWAT ex navy Seal agent. High octane entertainment,

Don’t care about critics or users on this one, movie is a classic. Great cast, fun scenes, good action. A classic of its time, in a big budget B movie type of sense

Siempre me ha gustado esta película que ya cumple 20 años. Me parece una trama interesante y la considero una buena película. Y tiene actores famosos.

Meh....it's kind of a slightly better made Navy Seals (1990). It suffers from the same trapping any assembling a fighting team movie usually suffers from. The acting is just ok and most of the characters including Farrell surprisingly just blend in and are generic. Even Jackson isn't given much to work with either. The villains are as generic as you can get and I could easily confuse him with the bad guy from 2 Fast 2 Furious or Bad Boys II. Renner is actually good and the best thing in this its just a shame he's barely in it. The music is classic dated early 00's music that's trying to be hip and edgy but it gloriously dated and forgettable. The editing, cinematography and pacing are all just ok as well. The fight scenes in the second half are so dark you can't see what's going on and the constant editing makes it hard to follow sometimes. The action gets over the top ridiculous as well at the end. This is the poster child for a mindless turn your brain off action movie but it doesn't have much humor or self awareness to give it any charm. It would also help if you could see the action in the second half as well. The story is super generic template assemble a team to restore the name of the Dept. While the story flows ok it never is able to chain the events in a cohesive way that connects all the characters. Perfect example is showing them training but its a montage of each of them learning or showing each of there stock families. You could cut those scenes in half and only show half of them and nothing would be lost because it never really comes into play except giving a generic reason to care about these one dimensional characters. If you wanna turn your brain off and have something playing in the background while your doing something else this is the perfect film. Otherwise watch a cop movie that's better and more engaging.

S.W.A.T. is a straightforward film with gripping action sequences and a fine cast. In the end, I found that I highly enjoyed 90% of the film. I thought that the character introductions were purposeful, the training sequences were a highlight and most the story made sense. Unfortunately, the climax was anti-climactic, and the characters lacked closure. The ending sequence felt like an episode of a 42-minute 온라인카지노추천 show rather than a feature film. The buildup was there, I just wish that I could have seen the payoff for these characters that I became invested in.

I hate this. A lot. Everything about it is stupid.

The most action-packed 01 hour: and 56 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!! Based on the 1970s crime drama and packs more action than its 온라인카지노추천 series predecessor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooo cheesy omg…stop with this already

Amazing cast, poor execution. Wish they could have done more with the story because there is so much talent in this movie

Movie is fun. Just turn your brain off and enjoy. It has many flaws and felt like they tried to put too much into such a short amount of time.

Saw this movie when I was a kid. It's alright. If you want to pass the time with a B movie, then Colin Farrell's got you.

The greatest 01 hour: and 56 minutes ever!!!!!!!!! Starring LL Cool J, Michelle Rodrieguez, Colin Ferrell, and others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full of kissing, children, and fights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Routine my ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Los Angeles Police Department SWAT officer Jim Street (Colin Farrell), his partner Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner), and their team infiltrate a bank taken hostage by robbers, where Gamble disobeys orders and engages the robbers, causing a hostage to sustain injuries. He and Street manage to subdue the criminals, but are taken off the SWAT team by Captain Fuller, the commanding officer of the LAPD Metropolitan Division. Fuller offers Street a chance to rejoin the team by implicating Gamble, but he refuses and is demoted to working police inventory while Gamble quits the force and ends their friendship. Six months later, the chief of police calls on Sergeant Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson (Samuel L. Jackson), a Marine Force Recon veteran, to reorganize the SWAT team. Hondo takes an interest in Street, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, and recruits him along with fellow officers Travis Joseph "T.J." McCabe (Josh Charles), Michael Boxer (Brian Van Holt), Deacon "Deke" Kaye (LL Cool J), and Chris Sanchez (Michelle Rodriguez), despite Fuller's protests. They bond as they train together and manage to pass their numerous tests; as they celebrate afterward, Street has a hostile run-in with Gamble. The team then succeeds in their first real mission: subduing an unstable gunman by using a wall-breaching battering ram designed by Street. French drug lord Alex "Le Loup Rouge" Montel (Olivier Martinez) arrives in Los Angeles and kills his uncle for embezzlement, after assuming control of his family's criminal empire by killing his father. As he drives to the airport, he is pulled over by police for a broken tail light, and detained due to discrepancies with his false I.D.; authorities determine that he is an international fugitive and is wanted in several countries. Montel's associates, disguised as LAPD officers, attempt to break him out as he is being transferred to prison, killing two Sheriff's deputies. Hondo's team manages to arrive in time to kill the gunmen and recapture Montel. As reporters swarm the team, Montel announces to the cameras that he is willing to offer 100 million dollars to whoever is able to break him out, which draws the attention of criminals across the city... Reception for the movie was mixed. Rotten Tomatoes consensus reads, "A competent, but routine police thriller." Film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave S.W.A.T. a favorable rating of three stars, as well as a thumbs up on At the Movies. He complimented the characters, dialogue, and the action sequences, which he found believable. This movie version of the classic tv-show from 1975-1976 has that ever so tiring "The Fast & The Furious" testestorone machopumped up sort of structure with silly dialogue, over the top action, fast paced editing, an extremely generic storyline, a political correct setup and no characters to like. This is very far from the tv-show with not many touchpoints and to be honest watch the great tv-show instead with all the original characters, Lt. "Hondo" Harrelson, Officer Jim Street, Sgt. David "Deacon" Kay, Officer Dominic Luca, and Officer T.J. McCabe. Trivia: The idea for a film adaptation of the 1975 S.W.A.T. 온라인카지노추천 series was conceived in 1997. Michael Bay, Rob Cohen, Antoine Fuqua, Michael Mann, Joel Schumacher, Tony Scott, Zack Snyder, Roger Spottiswoode, Marcus Nispel, and John Woo were all approached to direct the film before Clark Johnson signed on. They passed because they were all busy with other projects. Oliver Stone was also involved as a producer at one point. Original series actors Steve Forrest and Rod Perry have cameo appearances; Forrest drives the team's van, while Perry appears as Kaye's father.

Probably one of the best action films you will ever see.
