Movie Reviews

Newark Star-Ledger - 8/10 by Stephen WhittyWinstone is, as always, perfectly believable as a tough guy and after a slow start - due, somewhat, to American ears adjusting to those problematic accents - the film hits a groove.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Lisa Giles-KeddieBig, brash, ballsy fun. It's a Winstone mecca for fans to witness their idol in all his former hard-man glory ...
Sky Cinema - 8/10 by Tim EvansA serviceable thriller albeit one lacking in real adrenaline.
Urban Cinefile - 8/10 by Andrew L. UrbanThere's not much more we could ask for in a contempo police procedural - except maybe subtitles to overcome the heavy, dense cockney accents
Movie Nation - 8/10 by Roger MooreA down-and-dirty genre picture that manages a couple of decent plot twists, a couple of passable car chases and two epic shoot-outs.
Blu-ray.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfA serviceable feature good for a few cheap thrills. Just don't expect to be moved by dramatics viewed in hundreds of similar police pictures.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Tom LongMaybe it worked in the '70s; it's too worn to work these days. Ray Winstone needs to find better rocks to chew on.
AV Club - 8/10 by Sam AdamsFrom its lone-wolf mythology to the high, pealing guitar wails in its score, The Sweeney plays like a forgotten ’80s action movie recently discovered in a dusty vault. A treat, perhaps, for those who prefer their cop thrillers pre-meta, but tiresomely plodding for everyone else.
The Patriot Ledger - 8/10 by Al AlexanderIt goes nowhere, lost in the thick, indecipherable cockney accents and seemingly endless shootouts and car chases.
honeycuttshollywood.com - 7/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThis British film's coppers are all anachronisms as are the filmmakers' attitudes toward their anti-heroes and female characters.
