The Bottom Line:
S.W.A.T. doesn't aim very high but it avoids many of the cliches of the genre while providing some fun scenes (e.g. a plane landing on a bridge) and enough character depth to make the actors more than just cardboard cutouts; if you're looking for some action you could do far worse.

Good old fashion American Action Movie
Added 2/6/2009
Great movie, Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson are two bad a$$ American cops in Los Angeles (my current home town) when an effeminate French arms dealer tries to shmarm his way through town the LAPD takes him down (by coincidence because they check every last thing and get him for a broken tail light) and he offers 100 million dollars to anyone who can get him out of custody, so then an army of opportunistic gangsters descends upon the SWAT team who are supposed to escort him to prison, eventually of course, wholesome all-American good guys prevail over the effete delicate french criminal and his army of minions. Also there's a good jab at vegetarians thrown in when Samuel L Jackson's recruiting his team, and that's a plus.

An imprisoned drug kingpin offers a huge cash reward to anyone that can break him out of police custody and only the LAPD's Special Weapons and Tactics team can prevent it
