Review of The Sweeney (2012)

By Jake Mulligan (34) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 28 Feb 2013

The Sweeney was originally a 1970s TV show, but with the archetypal characters, the rote plot, and the nondescript gunfights, it feels more…

Review of The Sweeney (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 28 Feb 2013

From its lone-wolf mythology to the high, pealing guitar wails in its score, The Sweeney plays like a forgotten ’80s action movie recently…

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 Feb 2013

Surprisingly good considering . Ray Winstone does seem a little out of place in some scenes and expect him to say buy a Volkswagen now…
