Synopsis

Clark Johnson's big-screen adaptation of the 1970s television series S.W.A.T. stars Colin Farrell as Jim Street, a young special weapons and tactics team member who, in the film's opening sequence, is demoted after his hothead partner Jeremy Renner shoots a hostage while trying to kill her captor. In need of good press, the higher-ups call in SWAT expert Hondo Harrelson (Samuel L. Jackson) to put together an elite team that can bring some luster back to the badge. He chooses Street, veteran T.J. (Josh Charles), and tough single mother Chris Sanchez (Michelle Rodriguez). The new team survives a series of tests before hitting the streets. Their first big assignment involves transporting an international criminal (Olivier Martinez) to federal authorities. The criminal had offered a hundred million dollars to anyone who can bust him out. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review

This action opus inspired by the popular television series of the 1970s has been given a well-rounded presentation for its release on DVD. This edition of S.W.A.T. has been given a pan-and-scan, full-screen transfer to disc in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1. (A letterboxed widescreen version is also available.) The original English-language audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, as has an alternate dubbed track in French; optional subtitles in English and French are also included. Among the bonus materials are two audio commentary tracks -- one featuring director Clark Johnson and members of the cast, the other featuring screenwriters David Ayer and David McKenna and the film's technical consultant -- as well as a collection of gags and bloopers, several deleted scenes, three short documentaries on the production of the film, a look back at the original television series, filmographies for the cast and crew, and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
