Review of Sweeney! (1977) by Benjamin F — 14 Aug 2010
Big 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.
