The Sweeney (2012)
5/10
Too Much Swearing?
31 January 2013
I was enjoying this remake of an old classic but found myself being turned off by the endless swearing, nearly every sentence has a swear word in it, its almost like the writer was trying to fill the gaps between the dialogue.

The rating was a fifteen certificate which i did not believe was high enough. I understand that realism is what they were going for, but i feel it would have been a better movie with a drastic reduction in the quota for swear words. Ray Winstone was as large as life as ever and played a good part as Reagan, i felt that the part of Carter played by Ben Drew was a poor choice and he failed to engage.

The action was fast paced and the car chases were done with realism.
