[It] feels a lot like an American-made cop movie circa 1990.

| Mar 1, 2013

Based on a '70s British program, this is a bombastic effort that, while not successful, is still as bracing as a cold pint.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2013

Maybe it worked in the '70s; it's too worn to work these days. Ray Winstone needs to find better rocks to chew on.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 1, 2013

The movie blithely repeats most of the clichés of the American badass-cop flick, only in impenetrable Cockney.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 1, 2013

This might just be a British thing that we don't understand - literally.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2013

Mr. Winstone chews on this Cockney cops-and-robbers caper with foulmouthed glee.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2013

A briskly involving British crime entertainment of the old school. You've seen the type, and more than once, but the genre still has enough juice to take us for a ride.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2013

[Winstone] radiates such a threatening vibe that he doesn't have to say a word to make your hair stand on end. And his grim, glowering work in "The Sweeney" ranks up there with his best.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 28, 2013

The only thing more tiresome than a gritty reboot of a 온라인카지노추천 series is a gritty reboot of an unfamiliar 온라인카지노추천 series.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 28, 2013

Somewhere in the laundry list of clichés, there is a movie here that we have already seen and forgotten.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2013

Clichés abound, even in the look of the film, which toggles between post-Ritchie crime-violence burlesque and sleek, Nolanesque faux-grandeur.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 27, 2013

Regardless of whether you're a longtime devotee or not, you'll be left saying, "This is The Sweeney? I've been rooked."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2013

Winstone attempts to bluster his way through, but remains the least credible action star this side of Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 14, 2013

What the hell's this pony trap? That Nick Love - Danny Dyer's best mate - has only gone and made a film with the same bleedin' name. But this ain't the Sweeney.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 14, 2012

Fans of the original drama about the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad will not be pleased by it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 14, 2012

Sweeney? Pony, more like.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2012

The new Sweeney is cobblers, albeit cobblers on fast wheels.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 13, 2012

Ray Winstone is well cast, but that's about the only thing this remake gets right.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 12, 2012

It's Winstone who keeps 'The Sweeney' on the right side of duff.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2012

The Sweeney is a film out of time; a reboot that feels more dated than the original.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 10, 2012
