Review of The Sweeney

The Sweeney (2012)
7/10
Good cops/bad cops
14 July 2013
Does this movie have flaws? Are the characters having trouble in more than one way? Relationships are all over the place? Some people do not get enough screen time? Yes to all those questions. Does this on the other hand have a great mystery beginning, where you might not know what is going on and who is actually doing what? Yes and that confusion is great, because it could make you more aware of the movie. That is if you go completely unaware into the whole experience.

As always, I had not read anything about the plot, so I didn't know who the characters where and what their relationship towards each other would be. The really good actors help elevate this and make it able for the viewer to overlook a few flaws. Action scenes are really good (especially one concerning a very famous location in London, and if you listen to the commentary on how they shot it, you'll be even more amazed).

Not everyones cup of tea, but hopefully you can enjoy it as much as I did and as much as the filmmakers intended you to.
