Trivia:
EASTER EGG: On the DVD go to the second page of the Special Features, select "6th street bridge" press right twice and down twice. This will highlight Samuel L Jacksons's cap. Press Ok or equivalent and you will be taken to the SWAT team and crew playing golf. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: An L.A. Times front page is featured, with a police corruption story in the first two columns under the "COLUMN ONE" header. In reality, "COLUMN ONE" stories are always exactly one column wide, and are features/human interest, not hard news. more

S.W.A.T. Good-bye, 8 August 2003
4/10
Author: tabuno from utah

Nothing much original and too predictable. The S.W.A.T. was apparently designed from a movie formula and the twists and turns were projected way ahead of time. Not a terrible movie, but not that much interesting either. No character development, except the usual cliches, no real depth to relationships, just scenes just for the sake of scenes (picked up probably from some other movie outline. I found the trailers before the movie more involving, more action oriented. Just didn't seem like an intelligent, innovative movie - it just uses the S.W.A.T. premise and makes it into the same police action I've seen before. Even "The Negotiator" had more dramatic energy and tension. Four out of ten stars.
