British label Network will bring to Blu-ray David Wickes' gritty crime drama Sweeney! (1976), starring John Thaw, Dennis Waterman, Barry Foster, Ian Bannen, and Diane Keen. The release will be available for purchase on February 4.
Synopsis: Rough, tough and politically incorrect, The Sweeney was one of the major television successes of the last fifty years and this first feature film spin-off is just as hard-hitting!
Featuring memorable performances from John Thaw and Dennis Waterman -- and made by the same team who worked on the hit television series -- Sweeney! has been newly transferred in high-definition from original film elements.
Hard-bitten, womanising Flying Squad officer Jack Regan becomes embroiled in a political plot when an old friend asks him to investigate a seemingly suspicious death. Framed on a drink-driving charge and suspended from the force, Regan is embroiled in a deadly conspiracy and must think fast and rely on his wits if he's to survive!
