Critic Reviews:
- " If you watched any of the dozens of gritty BBC crime dramas that have reached our shores over the last decade, The Sweeney looks and feels like a bigger-budgeted version of those productions. " – Jeff Meyers
- " This is Winstone's show and it's a perfect showcase for his bluff, easygoing machismo. He was born to play this lovable scoundrel, with an emphasis on his rogue elements. " – Marshall Fine
- " Winstone is, as always, perfectly believable as a tough guy and after a slow start – due, somewhat, to American ears adjusting to those problematic accents – the film hits a groove. " – Stephen Whitty
