Review For The Sweeney

[It] feels a lot like an American-made cop movie circa 1990.
Pete Vonder Haar-Village Voice

Based on a '70s British program, this is a bombastic effort that, while not successful, is still as bracing as a cold pint.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News

Winstone is, as always, perfectly believable as a tough guy and after a slow start - due, somewhat, to American ears adjusting to those problematic accents - the film hits a groove.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

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

The movie blithely repeats most of the clichés of the American badass-cop flick, only in impenetrable Cockney.
Kyle Smith-New York Post

This might just be a British thing that we don't understand - literally.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle

The Sweeney Is Cliché After Cliché To The Point Of Parody.
Gabe Toro-The Playlist

You'd be better off going out into the lobby for popcorn and a soda for the first hour.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

Pulpy Brit actioner for die-hard fans of Ray Winstone, whose close-to-camp turn as '70s TV hero Jack Regan isn't enough to warrant a booking.
Rex Roberts-Film Journal International

Let's not waste each other's time. You already know whether this sounds like the kind of top bloke you'd fancy having a pint with. If so, The Sweeney is your film.
Catherine Bray-Film4

The film is just stylized enough to register as above average, but on the whole it's pretty forgettable - the kind of film you describe with a noncommittal "interesting," while walking out of the theater.
Witney Seibold-CraveOnline

This British film's coppers are all anachronisms as are the filmmakers' attitudes toward their anti-heroes and female characters.
Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com

If you watched any of the dozens of gritty BBC crime dramas that have reached our shores over the last decade, The Sweeney looks and feels like a bigger-budgeted version of those productions.
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

This throwback to 1970s cops and robbers movies had me 'nicked.'
James Verniere-Boston Herald

This is Winstone's show and it's a perfect showcase for his bluff, easygoing machismo. He was born to play this lovable scoundrel, with an emphasis on his rogue elements.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine

An intermittently exciting watch, thanks to some screeching car chases and a brilliant Central London shootout.
