Review of The Sweeney (2012) by Troy C — 21 Feb 2013
Was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this. Although its quite obvious that this film is trying to be like the Americans, with big gun shootouts, car chases and big swooping aerial shots of the city.
Although those shots are actually done pretty well. There are a few signposted plot points you know is going to happen, like the demise of a certain characters love interest and the red herring. Also I do think the composer thought that this was a superhero film as some of the score sounded familiar to recent caped crusader.
... But its good to see an action film being made on home soil. Worth a watch but not to own.
