THE SWEENEY. More a homage to the look of the cinema of Michael Mann than a reboot of the original TV show. It contains possibly the most English of car chases ever...round a closed caravan park in autumn. No brain fun. As ever with Nick Love, the commentary track totally eclipses the film and demands more repeat listens than the film repeat viewings.
IP MAN and IP MAN 2. Beautiful looking fight scenes, sentiment and high moral values packed into two excellent films. Recommended.
