The Sweeney - A Review

3 Stars - Too Long

So The Sweeney is based on an old 70s cop show, I'm pretty sure all it takes from it is some names...

This film has entertaining points, but at just under two hours it is a long film that could have done with about half an hour and a pointless internal affairs sub-plot being cut from it.

The other main problem with this is it isn't believable that they could get away with how they act in this film, I know it's meant to be that they act a bit beyond the law to achieve results, but in any semblance of reality their unit would have been shut down years ago for corruption and breaking the law...

Well Carter, at least they'll get rid of that awful Orange advert...

In Short, probably give this a miss, and if you really want to see it wait for T.V.
