"You still wanna join SWAT?"
"No.  I just enjoy applying every year."  


Cop movies never really spark my interest for obvious reasons, but this one does.  It's action packed, realistic, and has an awesome, twisted ending.  I dig it!


Pretty much, Colin Farrell gets a second chance after he and his now ex-partner deal with a mishap.  Their challenge of escorting an infamous convict was simple until he offered a multi-million dollar reward on national television to whoever helps him escape.  The shit hits the fan when the helpers are unmasked, revealing who the real bad guys are in the movie.  


Aside from this edgy plot, the film is intertwined with cool scenes of training and rock star music.  Not to mention, who doesn't want to watch Michelle Rodriguez kick ass?!  If you don't get your rocks off from her, I'm sure LL Cool J's 30 pack will do the trick for you.  The screenwriting is slick, but I must admit that my favorite scene is just plain bloody and throat slitting;)
