Funny thing, during that scene all I could think of was Jezzer was right, an Escort could never keep up w/a Jaguar. John Thaw brought a world-weary righteousness to the role of Regan in the original, but Winstone's version is a swaggering, sweary, lairy parody of a hard-nosed cop. It ultimately fails in just about every way. By the time he's asked to hand in his badge and gun, a citizen's arrest of the film-makers is surely justified. That & I wonder if Love got the idea to turn off the anti-lock brakes from him as well. assisted with filming the car chase scenes, which was featured in an episode earlier this year.

In fact, one of the most pivotal scenes was predictable and frustrating as the leader of the squad, Regan, puts his team (and London's citizens) in a situation that could only be described as inexcusably irresponsible. Oh dear. This film bears no resemblance to the TV series and is just a cop film of mediocre quality.

First published on Tue 26 Jun 2012 20.38 EDT. It's a brainless joyride that ends up spinning its wheels in macho clichés. It was in my opinion the best British cop show of all time and John Thaw and Dennis Waterman were perfectly cast.

Don’t miss The Sweeney which is set for cinema release on September 12th 2012. If this wasn't called 'The Sweeney' you wouldn't know it was based on the TV series as it bears no relation to the classic series whatsoever. I understand he's a rapper in Britain so there is room for a second career. Travelling or based outside United States? There might as well not be one. Only buy if you want to watch a load of rubbish & have a couple of hours of your life spare to waste. Car chase from the 2012 film The Sweeney remake of the TV series filmed in collaboration with Top Gear. And it's the tiny details that make the movie.

Shame. It's an interminable, momentum-free yarn concerning dodgy east European bank robbers that only serves as a generic chassis on which to bolt the fist fights, shoot-outs, car chases, and random acts of police brutality.

Of course, Regan's old-school way is the one that ultimately gets results, as opposed to those poncey, human-rights-respecting desk-job coppers, but it's not clear which way his moral compass is pointing. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie although there are more than a few scenes that seemed implausible. Rentals include 30 days to start watching this video and 3 days to finish once started. A hard-nosed detective with an unorthodox approach to crime-solving gets sprung from jail to face an old nemesis who returns to the streets of London. Early on, he pockets a few gold bars from an armed robbery for himself, though this blatant corruption is neither explained nor explored.

The Isle of Sheppey is in North Kent and boasts beautiful landscapes and coastlines as well as harbour towns and wildlife reserves. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this. The Top Gear team assisted with filming the car chase scenes, which was featured in an episode earlier this year.

I've seen only one episode of the original series because I am such a huge John Thaw fan from his "Inspector Morse" series. Unfortunately in all that time they seem to have lost sight of what this film was supposed to represent.

This film is absolutely awful. He is also shagging a colleague's wife, and later throttles said colleague in a corridor. Don’t miss The Sweeney which is set for cinema release on September 12, Film Offices: UK (FO:UK) Terms of Reference.
