S.W.A.T.

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
