The Sweeney (2012)
7/10
Solid although not great film
22 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
As usual yet another solid performance from Ray Winstone. Probably the saving grace for this film. The script is at best average and a little predictable and doesn't make the most of actors like Damian Lewis or Alan Ford.Damian Lewis's part seemed to add little to the movie, and no doubt had an impact upon the budget that could have been better spent elsewhere? Biggest downside of the film for me was Ben Drew. he has even less acting talent and ability than he does as a musician..

With a slightly bigger budget and more time spent on the script (or a different scriptwriter?) this could have been a cracking film. However as it is i would rate it as slightly above average, although better and a lot more watchable than a lot of new films lately.

Worst Film Ever?
11 January 2013
Has to be a candidate for the worst film ever, the cast have no acting talent at all, the script has more wood than the Amazon and the pace of the film is slower than a Trabant.. total waste of eight pounds that the DVD cost. The film preview on the back of the DVD claims to be about UFO's yet the first half of the film contains none or seemingly anything leading up to them. Just some talentless "actors" going through some Shakespeareanesque wordy scenes seemingly trying to make the film look arty. (probably pushing things to actually call this rubbish a film) If your looking for entertainment go paint your shed or something. It will be far more entertaining than this dross.

Avoid!!
