SO19/CO19 would probably be a more relevant update of The Sweeney? And probably the premise for a good action/detective series.

Danny Dire is spot on what a crap actor and please nobody I mean nobody walks like that.
I like the idea of new cops and robbers say Ray Winston and Jamie (good looking) Foreman as the cops or robbers and let Gary Oldman direct it as "NIL BY MOUTH" style. Definitely an after the watershed production.

Yet again, the lack of originality is disappointing. I'd give far more films a chance if they were created with confidence in their product, rather than cashing in on the revival of an old name.

As an aside, I seem to recall that Ray Winstone, credited as Raymond Winstone, appeared as a young villain in an episode of 'The Sweeney', all those years ago.

Sadly, I'm resigned to the inevitable on this one.
