Five Things To Do In Edinburgh: Tuesday 18/09/2012

YOUR pick of the best city nights out

CINEMA

The Sweeney

Winstone and Ben Drew explode onto the screen as the legendary London crime fighters. Nailing villains is all that matters to Flying Squad officers Jack Regan (Ray Winstone) and his loyal partner George Carter (Ben Drew). They get results by ignoring the rulebook, much to the exasperation of the Guv (Damian Lewis). But when a bank heist takes place, they suspect an old adversary has returned. As the stakes are raised, hard-as-nails Regan will stop at nothing in pursuit of the villain.
