S.W.A.T.

Samuel L. Jackson appearing really cool, because when all else fails, he can just whip out his lightsaber.

You just got to love Colin Farrell's American accent.

For those of you who thought Colin Farrell really speaks in an American accent, you've got to hear him talk in his native Irish. Probably as unintelligible as Bob Marley.

Anyway, you all know the story. This is about a S.W.A.T. team. If you don't know what a S.W.A.T. team is, they're the ones who got those Chinese hostages killed in Manila a while back. But this movie is of course about the L.A.P.D. S.W.A.T. (I'm really having a hard time typing in all those periods), which is apparently one of the best in the world.

Samuel L. Jackson appears again in his trademark cool image. Although being a veteran SWAT (there, I stopped using periods) does make him the coolest in the team.

Michelle Rodriguez doesn't get to kick much ass, except against that punching bag in the training scenes. Well, she's the only woman, and what would you expect from a bunch of chauvinist pigs?

LL Cool J has just demonstrated that he is one of the few actors who have successfully transitioned from rap to acting. He is a natural. Just like Jeremy Renner, whose character will make you hate him more than that French villain.
