When the Strategic Response Unit arrives, the rules change. The bad guy is caught--he just doesn't know it yet. The SRU, inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force, is a handpicked team of elite cops. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all: rescue hostages, bust gangs, defuse bombs. Talk down suicidal teens. Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons--sniper rifles, flash-bang grenades, tasers. They climb the sides of buildings. See through walls. But they're different from other SWAT teams. Because their arsenal also includes a gift for words. A knowledge of human intuition. An instinct for when it's time to negotiate--and when the 'solution' calls for something more. On the scene, they're in charge. No one knows their job better. SRU Constables outrank senior Inspectors--and the Inspectors don't like it. Regular uniforms grumble when pushed aside by the SRU 'prima donnas.' While secretly wishing they were in their place. It's a tough job. A job that carries the kind of pressure only your teammates--your band of brothers--can really understand. It's a stress that shades all your choices and can take a heavy toll on families, friends, lovers... These people are A-types and risk-takers. On the job, they play by the rules, bend them if they have to. But off the job, all bets are off.

Reviews

David Hiltbrand
Philadelphia Inquirer
This Canadian series about a police tactical unit is clever, crisply paced and well-acted.

The Morning Call (Allentown, PA)
Despite a confident visual style and a likeable cast, "Flashpoint" stops its creative process at "generic."

Creating a merely passable entertainment appears to be its highest ambition. Sadly, it doesn't even achieve those low standards and it drags at least one immensely likable performer in Enrico Colantoni down with it.
