I read all the bad reviews on here and first thought I would have to give this a miss but then I thought again and remembered some of the movies on here that had been given glowing reviews and how bad they turned out to be.... so I thought I would give this a try.
I am pleased I did, yeah its not the greatest movie in the world and some of the dialogue was sometimes hard to make out (mumbling etc) but on the whole it was a fun ride. The action scenes were well put together with the camera views and music giving a great gritty atmosphere but not to gritty to make London look bleak like a lot of movies do. The movie only cost around £2 million to make which in this day and ages is superb with moves costing ten times as much not being as good and the fact that it has made £4 million is great for the British movie industry. I am not sure if this was made by a British movie company but even if it wasn't (I bet it was as they know how to make money for a movie go a long way) it is still good revenue for the UK.
I am not sure why people keep going on about the main character (Played by Ray Winstone) having sex with a younger women was so terrible and funny etc. This DOES happen in real life I personally have seen this many times so not really far fetched.
On the whole an enjoyable action movie which did not cost the earth to make and was a good nights entertainment. Plus I am old enough to remember the original Sweeney and this does not damage the memory of that
One last point... DONG take the reviews on here to seriously. Use them as a rough guide but always watch the movie yourself.
