Jack Reagan is a slobbish,old style cop whose unsubtle methods usually get results,to the annoyance of internal affairs officer Lewis,who would be even more annoyed if he knew that Reagan was having an affair with his young wife,policewoman Nancy.
After Reagan disobeys orders and a shoot-out in central London following a bank hold-up ends in carnage he is stripped of office and briefly imprisoned. However,thanks to the loyalty of his young protege George Carter and a little string pulling from his superior Frank Haskins Reagan is released to bring down the villains in a gun battle at Gravesend marina,ensuring the continued existence of his department - the Sweeney.
EXCITING EDGY AND SUPER COOL REMAKE
Ben Drew (Plan B) goes from strength to strength as George Carter cast alongside British film icon Ray Winstone's portrayal of maverick 70's cop Jack Reagan.
For anyone who didn't grow up watching the original TV series you will not be disappointed in this UK film classic. The story is your common or garden cat and mouse police thriller but there is nothing common or garden about the chemistry between the veteren Winstone and the relative, uber talented newcomer to film Ben Drew who winds a gritty and at the same time witty script from writer director Nick Love around his little pinky. Ben is so watchable and completely believable in the bad boy turned good character under the mentoring of Sweeney boss, whose questionable policing gets him into hot water with internal affairs as the gang are in hot pursuit of Neil, played by Tayo Walker Allen, a very convincing baddie.
It's heavy action combined with super acting with a few unexpected twists thrown in making the comfort characters of the past new and fresh. The end result is 2 hours of film entertainment that wizzes by in a flash of sirens and masculinity only found in the movies.
