S.W.A.T. - 6 stars out of 10

Strong from beginning to end, "S.W.A.T." is an interesting cop movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  With the exception of one small twist, this is a straightforward and predictable action movie with great shootout scenes.  Realistically, Samuel L. Jackson's picture on the cover is enough to draw most people into the film but a good story does lie within.  Although Colin Farrell is the lead, the actors that left their impression on me were Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Renner.  While there aren't enough surprises to make this one of my favorites, the idea of a criminal yelling to tv cameras "I will give $100 million to whoever gets me out of here" and the resulting actions of the bad guys (and some good guys) make "S.W.A.T." worth seeing at least once.
