Somehow this movie managed to get all of its starring actors into the roles they play best. Colin Farrell is Street, the rebellious yet morally in the right police officer who has gotten on the wrong side of his superior. He seems to like those roles. Yet once again is American accent in impeccable, coming from an Irishman. Samuel L. Jackson, on top of his game as usual, plays his S.W.A.T. team captain who is on his side. The team is rounded out by Michelle Rodriguez, the tough girl in a world of men (a la Girlfight), and LL Cool J the good humored, even-tempered member of the team. Olivier Martinez rounds it out as the international criminal who causes the L.A.P.D. so much trouble. He does a fine job in a role that actually is completely different from what we’re used to (remember the sexy Other Man in Unfaithful?).

If you have two hours spare hours and you would like to be entertained sometime this summer, go see this movie. It would be an enjoyable way to spend them.
