Jack Regan is a slobbish, old style cop whose unsubtle methods usually get results, to the annoyance of internal affairs officer Lewis, who would be even more annoyed if he knew that Regan was having an affair with his young wife, policewoman Nancy. After Regan disobeys orders and a shoot-out in central London following a bank hold-up ends in carnage, he is stripped of office and briefly imprisoned. However, thanks to the loyalty of his young protege George Carter and a little string pulling from his superior Frank Haskins, Regan is released to bring down the villains in a gun battle at Gravesend marina, ensuring the continued existence of his department - the Sweeney.
Leave your thoughts about The Sweeney.
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen 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. |
| HeyUGuysLisa Giles-KeddieBig, brash, ballsy fun. It's a Winstone mecca for fans to witness their idol in all his former hard-man glory ... |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansA serviceable thriller albeit one lacking in real adrenaline. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew 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 NationRoger 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.comBrian 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 NewsTom 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 ClubSam 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 LedgerAl AlexanderIt goes nowhere, lost in the thick, indecipherable cockney accents and seemingly endless shootouts and car chases. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttThis British film's coppers are all anachronisms as are the filmmakers' attitudes toward their anti-heroes and female characters. |
