S.W.A.T. – Die Spezialeinheit (2003)

S.W.A.T. – Die Spezialeinheit: Directed by Clark Johnson. With Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez, LL Cool J. An imprisoned drug kingpin offers a huge cash reward to anyone that can break him out of police custody, and only the L.A.P.D.’s Special Weapons and Tactics team can prevent it.

“I havenu0026#39;t read the comments of others, so Iu0026#39;m not sure why itu0026#39;s rated so low. This is a pretty decent yarn with some good action and suspense in it. The story is almost believable. A drug dealer is detained by the Police and offers $100 million to anyone who can spring him. The offer is taken up by several people and the Los Angeles Police Department finds itself outgunned. Their only hope is the newly formed SWAT team, headed by Samuel L. Jackson. The whole SWAT thing is new and no one likes it. While, today, many people still donu0026#39;t like the idea of SWAT teams, they are now a part of the law enforcement landscape. Itu0026#39;s too u0026quot;Militaryu0026quot; for most people. The film shows the build up and some of the training of the SWAT team, and their duel with the bad guys in the end. It kept my attention and I found it entertaining. And isnu0026#39;t that what the industry is all about? I gave it a 7.”
