Review For The Sweeney | |
| Fans of the original 1970s TV show will not be amused. Casual observers may simply shrug with indifference. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age There's not much more we could ask for in a contempo police procedural - except maybe subtitles to overcome the heavy, dense cockney accents Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Gritty and violent, this character-driven drama socks it to us without restraint and we get the distinct impression there's nothing left in the tank by the time the tale is told Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile There's plenty of muscle in Nick Love's bloody, boys' own adventure, but not much suspense and next to no logic. Simon Foster-sbs.com.au The Sweeney is a parasitic tapeworm, masquerading as a British crime epic. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show [C]omes across more like wishful thinking, as if both the onscreen fictional characters and the offscreen real-life filmmakers were fantasizing about being in a Hollywood action movie... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher Winstone shows he's got what it takes to slide into John Thaw's acrylic flares. Andy Lea-Daily Star Big, brash, ballsy fun. It's a Winstone mecca for fans to witness their idol in all his former hard-man glory ... Lisa Giles-Keddie-HeyUGuys It's alright so 'ave a look. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray What the hell's this pony trap? That Nick Love - Danny Dyer's best mate - has only gone and made a film with the same bleedin' name. But this ain't the Sweeney. Tara Brady-Irish Times Fans of the original drama about the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad will not be pleased by it. Derek Malcolm-This is London Brimming with leather jackets, submachine guns, fast cars and a suitably grim and brutal determination to catch London's bad guys. Mark Adams-Daily Mirror [UK] Have a beer, get some mates involved and enjoy this solid, Brit actioner. Alex Zane-Sun Online Sweeney? Pony, more like. Ashley Clark-Little White Lies The new Sweeney is cobblers, albeit cobblers on fast wheels. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times The results are hilariously stupid - a police procedural without the foggiest idea of what constitutes police procedure. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] If the plot was tighter, more involving and suspenseful you might overlook the ludicrous swagger of the whole thing but the story is a run-of-the-mill yarn about bank robbers that never much grips or convinces. It's also too long. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express The Sweeney is pacily directed, superbly acted and delivers some exciting action sequences, but the only elements that remain from the TV show are the names of the characters and the central catchphrase. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Ray Winstone is well cast, but that's about the only thing this remake gets right. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Although the film isn't much more than a stretched-out television episode, its characters are lively and engaging Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall | |
