Genres & Description

Action Crime Drama

6.1 / 10

Jack Regan 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 Regan was having an affair with his young wife, policewoman Nancy. After Regan 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, Regan is released to bring down the villains in a gun battle at Gravesend marina, ensuring the continued existence of his department - the Sweeney.

I'm British and I couldn't even understand what plan b mumbled half of the time. And I think of this movie as an insult to both the original Regan & Carter, they were rough around the edges maybe their jobs made them that way but underneath the characters were decent, respectable and very likeable. How dare they use their names for criminals that call themselves cops!!!! I was happy in the part of the movie when the new Jack gets stripped of his status and goes to prison cus he deserved it for what he'd done. - @Thursday, July 14, 2016 8:54 PM

I watched this load of crap last night. How dare they ruin a good series by writing this load of predictable and unbelievable shit. Ray Winston is nothing like what Jack Regan should be and as for the short obnoxious prick playing George Carter, I can't even find the right words to express how bad it was. Avoid this rubbish like the plague. - @Sunday, January 18, 2015 3:25 PM

For the record, Will Smith, Mark Wahlberg, Idris Elba and Jamie Foxx don't count. The former two have quit long ago and the latter two only rap as a hobby or a side job. All four are excellent actors, as opposed to say, Ludacris who is dreadful. Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to The Sweeney, whenever it comes out here. - @Sunday, January 27, 2013 11:14 PM

ProfessorRJLupin

And that didn't turn out too well, did it? Max Payne was terrible, and Ludacris is just as awful of an actor as he is a rapper. At least Plan B has some talent. - @Sunday, January 27, 2013 11:10 PM

It's like when you guys used Ludacris for the Max Payne movie. - @Sunday, January 27, 2013 3:10 AM

The movie doens't come out in here the USA for a while. The trailer is cool, and I like a lot of the actors in it. Ray Winstone (Mr. French from the Departed), Hayley Atwell (the hot girl from Captain America), and Damian Lewis are all excellent. But PLAN B? Seriously, why did they ruin the cast with a RAPPER? - @Thursday, January 24, 2013 12:02 AM

I was too young to watch the original too, but I bought the DVD boxset and was hooked. My advice to you is: please watch the original series. You won't regret it! - @Saturday, January 5, 2013 7:03 AM

ThePuppi3000

That's probably because you never saw the original Sweeney. Go and watch that and then see what you think. - @Saturday, January 5, 2013 7:01 AM

Actually John Thaw was 34, but could have passed for 40. - @Saturday, January 5, 2013 6:59 AM
