Audience Member Outstanding love every frame could and have watched it repeatedly Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Ropey follow-up that locates much of the action in Malta, allowing for some more scenic and class-conscious elements that expand on the tv show while maintaining its tone. The set pieces feature a lot of shotgun violence this time around, and much is made of sawing off a gold plated double-barrel that pays off in a grisly finale. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Good follow up, feels more like a unnecessary two part episode of the show than an actual film though. It wouldn't be surprising if the script is based on a unused script made for a 45 minute episode. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The second and final big screen Sweeney Movie is decent but not as good as the first film. This sequel replies abit too much on humour and there are some genuine cringey moments. The script is decent but could have actually been done and dusted in 30mins and not 90mins! There is so much padding and the scenes set in Malta are out to push up the running time! Also there are other scenes that have been dropped in that have noting to do with the main plot e.g. – The cringey scenes with Georgina Hale. The worst thing about the whole film though is the Musical Soundtrack, the music actually sounds like it belongs on a game show than an action film with bank robbers! The positives though there are some genuine excellent action sequences and of course John Thaw and Dennis Waterman are on form again so its always worth a look, but not on the same excellent level as the first movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Second big screen outing for Regan and Carter - and though no less gritty than the first, the story is less involving. Denholm Elliott aside, there is also a lack of supporting characters played by well-known names - maybe as the supporting roles are less significant! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member "Do One" "Shut it" Ahh The Sweeney probably one of the best TV cop shows ever and the 2 films that go with it are pretty good also. In this one Reagan and Carter are called upon to rumple a team of armed robbers who have been wreaking havoc across London. All the elements fromn the TV show are here (the script is by edge of darkness screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin) from gold plated shooters to the whole squad getting drunk in a hotel while a bomb is difused upstairs. What has opened out is the action ,which is more realistcic than the TV show due to the fact the film is aimed at a studio audience. Thaw and Waterman were one of TV's best double acts and here its easy to see why, the banter feels genuine and never fake. If you want to see how the TV show changed the face of TV cop dramas then watch this film and thne but the TV series box sets.
