S.W.A.T. Firefight is good

S.W.A.T. Firefight is a sequel to S.W.A.T., which was inspired by the classic TV show. It is a sequel in name only. This was from 2011, so I am a little late here.   In this one a hotshot cop named Paul (Gabriel Macht) from LA is sent to train/certify a S.W.A.T. unit in Detroit. While on the job the team responds to a hostage situation. It goes badly and the suspect played by Robert Patrick vows revenge. There is more to him than is first apparent.  I liked it. I liked the acting. Patrick was good as the villain and I thought Macht was a likeable hero I liked his love interest played by Carly Pope. I enjoyed the training sequences. Maybe there is nothing here that is original but it was well done. This was followed in 2017 by S.W.A.T. Under Siege (which has nothing to do with this). I liked that one too.
