Sweeney 2
Watch TrailerThe plot is set on a group of bank robbers, who are both violent and successful, strangely getting away each time with an amount around the £60,000 mark, and often leaving behind cash in excess of this sum. The robbers are willing to kill their own team, to get away. As Jack Regan himself puts it after the first raid in the film: "I've never seen so many dead people". Armed with gold-plated Purdey shotguns, they evaded Regan and the Flying Squad for quite some time, before Regan finds encouragement from his Detective Chief Superintendent who was sent down for corruption because Jack wouldn't testify in court for him.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The sequel constructs a gritty cat-and-mouse game through a series of brutal heists and the Flying Squad's dogged investigation. Director Tom Clegg relies on the established procedural format, exploring not just the chase but the bleak moral landscape of late-70s London where law and crime often intersect.
Those who tire of polished modern thrillers will appreciate the raw, unvarnished execution and the iconic cynical banter between Thaw and Waterman. What lingers after the credits is the grimy texture of a city under siege by violence. — MovieFinder Editorial
