Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe presenters and production team from Top Gear assisted in planning and filming the car chase scene. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were credited as stunt performers.
- GoofsDuring an arrest scene one of the characters says to the suspect: "You have the right to remain silent..." This is part of the Miranda used by United States law enforcement and would not be used in the UK. In Britain the caution that must be given at the time of an arrest begins with, "You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something that you later rely on in court..."
- Quotes
[Carter chases an armed robber and, after grappling with him, slams him against a partition wall in an office. As the robber draws a knife, two arms suddenly punch through the wall and grab the robber by the neck. Cut to a shot of Regan on the other side of the wall]
DI Jack Regan: [menacingly] We're the Sweeney, shithead. You're nicked!

Featured review
Would love to give this good ratings, was hoping to.. But.
Opening scene was beyond stupid. The bit in the middle was daft as hell.
And the less said about the ending the better.
Great acting, just very poor script and the director should go back to film school.. (does a director not have any control??)
Note to writer/director.. Never give that kind of daft opening if you want to be taken seriously..
Or daft ending..
Or daft middle bit...
