WHAT are some of these reviewers on? This is a cracking film, full of wonderful set pieces, dialogue and memorable as ever acting. This is simply the best ever TV show ever and this is a brilliant example of John Thaw playing one of the best characters ever written in a longer script. I must have seen some of the scenes hundreds of times ( the flashback sequence),the long camera shot outside the court showing Regan's bosses' illustration of being isolated and the great climax where the sheer enjoyment of a night out is shown. Even the scene where the dead girls father challenges Regan shows his shame and is a great example of his acting versatility.
A wonderful example of the Sweeney in so so many ways...vastly under-rated.
