S.W.A.T. (DVD 2004)

Not bad not bad, acting was up to par but should have made it an 18 cert and pumped up the action ! Samuel L Jackson as always cool as a mo fo. The HD side of things comes out pretty well unlike some.

My son loves this movie and wanted the DVD. He had recorded it on SKY+ and my hubby deleted it. He must watch it at least once a week.

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

as you may or may not know, this was a movie derived from the hit U.S. series of the 70's, which was entertainment in the rawest form, but the movie does it more than justice. the cast are fantastic in roles that could have been just plain 'stupid'
Jackson & Farrell are in true form in the top spots giving believable and enjoyable to watch.
Even the "lesser" characters are well cast, LL cool J, michelle rodriguez, etc, and very well played.

From start to finish this is a joyride of a film, from LL cool J's chase scene, to the jet on the bridge, you should be on the edge of your seat, enthralled, enthrilled and bloody well entertained.
the only part that dissapointed me was that it ended, i could easily have sat for another hour or so
