  Have any of you guys seen The Sweeney yet? I went yestersday with a couple of mates, not quite sure what exactly to expect but certainly hoping for some serious kick ass, unfortunately the most scary moment was having to witness Ray Winstome in his underpants!!
  Don't get me wrong as a stand alone film, I thought it was ok, but being brought up on the original antics of Regan & Carter, I don't think you could call this the sweeney. As a parting note, if they do a sequel, keep your trousers on you slag...

  Havnt seen it yet but have read some bad reviews on it, i like Ray Winstone and hes made some great films, liked Sexy Beast, Nil By Mouth and Tracker, but hes a bit like Sean Connery British, Spanish or Russian, 007-Highlander-Red October hisszz acshent ish alwazh the shame, Ray is always SHA'TIN HIS FAKIN LOINS! U FAKIN MAPPETSSS!!

  For those that didn't see it, here's the trailer. As I said a good action film, but please don't call it The Sweeney...

  I just can't see the point of these films when you know that these remakes are never going to be as good as the originals, i can't see me watching this

  Picked it up in ASDA £10, put it on at 8.00 off 8.40! so dont really know if the action got any better!. I was wrong in my earlier post sayng Ray was always 'SHAT'IN HIS FACKIN LOINS' he mumbled ' Get art the way, we're the fackin sweeney you slaaaggg' the script was crap and the sex n violence unconvincing! the other guy in it 'Carter' was in 'Harry Brown' wiv Muykiwl Cayn, i thought that was well better! A £10r wasted could have used that better calling Alejandra for a Samba!

  the point of these films, even though they might not be as good as the original is that no one will watch the original, or the majority of people anyway will not even realise that it's a remake at all.
  
  anyway, i think the film is a good one tho, not the best film ever made but decent prolly worth a watch

  I agree with you Timm, most people that this film appeals to will not realise it is a remake. I would probably give this film a 6/10. I did notice that on one of the driving scenes they were no cars and all of a sudden they were everywhere lol - so much for the continuity experts that check films before release.

  I didn't like the look if this so I avoided, thought t would be a typical gritty reimagining of something that really didn't need it! I had hoped ray wins tone could at least raise a few chuckles though!
