Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Alex SGood film spinoff of a classic series. Due to the fact that it's a movie and not made to shown on day time TV, it is allowed to be more gritty and violent than the show makes it a interesting watch for any fan of the show, and one to watch for any fan of 70's crime thrillers.
User Review - 8/10 by Stuart KBetween 1974 and 1978, The Sweeney was the most popular police drama on British TV, getting over 15 million viewers at a time. As a result, EMI Films offered them the chance to make a film version, which they thought would make them famous overseas. They couldn't refuse, while that didn't work, it was still a very successful film in the UK. It still holds it's own to this day as a gritty and powerful police drama. DI Jack Regan (John Thaw) and DS George Carter (Dennis Waterman) are part of Scotland Yard's Flying Squad, they have a tough stance on crime, acting like the criminals they're sent out to nab. Here, they get involved in something very high up, involving government minister Charles Baker (Ian Bannen), who is in the middle of a deal regarding Britain's position in the world oil market, Baker's American Press Secretary Elliot McQueen (Barry Foster), is a shady character whose clients are dubious people. When a prostitute turns up dead, Regan begins to think that Baker and McQueen are involved, and the deeper Regan and Carter get, the body count goes up. While the TV series was quite tame, here they had they opportunity to add sex, violence and bad language, it's well made and it's a who's who of British film and TV of that time, it's success enabled them to make a sequel a year later, which was more of the same.
User Review - 8/10 by Benjamin FBig Screen Version of The Sweeney with John Thaw and Dennis Waterman reprising their roles. The film is very dated now but in away that makes it more fun and in 90 mins they seem to fit in everything the TV show was famous for such as Regan (John Thaw) pissed up (The days when DIâ??s could drink and drive!), all the classic quotes (Shut it & Get in the car george!) and the fight at the gasworks in Fulham! All classic Sweeney! The films itself is very good and has a bigger more polished feel about it, Waterman and Thaw are on form, the plot is abit complex, including politics, Blackmail and dodgy 70s hitmen! I liked the unexpected ending as well! Their were two Sweeney films made for the Cinema so will be checking out â??Sweeney 2â?? soon.
User Review - 6/10 by Pavan RA good fast paced political crime thriller in the old style of policing. Fun watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Jack YToo many plot holes in Ranald Graham’s thriller, though David Wickes tries to keep the action moving with extra violence. A bit of a departure from The Sweeney on TV in terms of the “government conspiracy” back-story, and the story fails to carry it through.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul CBig screen adaptation of the popular 70's TV series - and a pretty decent one at that. A gritty thriller, much like the series, with plenty of action (though some is a bit over-the-top) and a smattering of familiar British character actors early in their careers.
