Review of Sweeney 2 (1978) by Colin F — 16 Aug 2010
The second and final big screen Sweeney Movie is decent but not as good as the first film. This sequel replies abit too much on humour and there are some genuine cringey moments. The script is decent but could have actually been done and dusted in 30mins and not 90mins! There is so much padding and the scenes set in Malta are out to push up the running time! Also there are other scenes that have been dropped in that have noting to do with the main plot e.
G. â?? The cringey scenes with Georgina Hale. The worst thing about the whole film though is the Musical Soundtrack, the music actually sounds like it belongs on a game show than an action film with bank robbers! The positives though there are some genuine excellent action sequences and of course John Thaw and Dennis Waterman are on form again so its always worth a look, but not on the same excellent level as the first movie.
