You know I said I like bad films (sometimes) well steer well clear of The Sweeney. What a complete crock of shit. Ray Winstone is looks like he's there just for the cheque, Ben Drew (Plan B) couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag and appears barely capable of speech, and I can't remember any of the other cast members. It was so good I emptied the dishwasher, reloaded it, made a coffee, smoked a couple of fags, all without pausing the film.
Had they made it in the same period as the original TV series I could have understood it but to update it, with such an awful cast, script and plot, was just a complete waste of time.
