Review of The Sweeney (2012) by Bryden M — 07 Mar 2013
"We're The Sweeney shit, and you've been knicked." The film has a little bit of the cockney charm of the original British series, but as much as I love Ray Winstone (especially, savage, fat, beastly Ray Winstone), this theatrical remake lacks any kind of originality and bears closer resemblance to Training Day than its source material.
I want to see The Sweeney cracking the heads of hoods and not fending their freedom from Internal Affairs. I want doors bashed down. Bare knuckle brawls. And sweet 70s suits. This is just another cop program in a field of cop programs.
