S.W.A.T.

Perfectly competent action thriller. Jim Street (Colin Farrell) is the lead character, but it’s essentially a “team” film. Sgt. Hondo (Samuel L. Jackson) builds an underdog team, and then trains them into a superteam. The team is thrown into action. The team faces adversity and betrayal, but pulls through in the end to save the day. Jim Street’s personal vendetta ends up intricately tied to the team’s battle, and the two plot lines converge in a satisfying climax. The editing is a bit rough in places, but apart from that it puts a solid tick in all of the action thriller boxes and ends up as a thoroughly entertaining couple of hours of cinema time.
