Essex Boys: Retribution

Having just watched Rise of the Footsoldier, I thought I'd watch this.

Starring thingy, Kyle and Kye somebody, and another guy.

I don't believe that in the real underworld/club land, there would be anyone afraid of these 4 clowns. Like Ever! This film is so tenuously linked to the range rover films it doesn't compare. It's like comparing a Ferrari with a piece of cheese.

I blame the casting department who hired the worst choice actors for this sort of story. It is like hiring Barry from Eastenders to play Vito Corleone. No offence B.

And another thing... Previous reviews have stated 7/8 even 10 stars for this film. I wonder what they gave Goodfellas, shawshank, green mile etc.... 20 out of 10!?

Terrible script, terrible acting. I had to fast forward through large sections. The so called 'actors' are unbelievably bad, honestly they need to get another day job. Applies to main characters and side parts, including the foreign actors who can barely deliver their lines. Do not waste your time, even the current 4.2 rating is pushed up by the cast and crew who have gotten their friends to vote for the film. Real user rating will not be above 1/10. In summary, if you want an action film, a storyline, and do not want to lose an hour and a half of your life to actors who would better serve society and the arts by stacking shelves in a supermarket, please see other films. Life is too short for this drivel.

This is a completely fictional film about a new string of Essex Boys. Enjoyable in parts but it's not as convincing, or as realistic as the original. The Movie starts off though with a thrilling, almost comedic bank raid in the style of Guy.R's 'Snatch' but the rest is somewhat of a let down, well compared to the first picture.

This film is pathetically awful, the main cast are just terrible actors, and not to mention effing annoying!! to try and sell this film as the "New breed of Essex boy" is just embarrassing, Pat Tate and Tony Tucker had many powerful friends, that would, lets face it rip these annoying kids to pieces if they strutted around like this as the new Top Boys!

Script is terrible, the acting as I mentioned is terrible, the casting is awful, even the scenery was god awful, I felt like I was watching a re-run of the inbetweeners movie where they all became drug dealers and tried selling themselves as feared gangsters...yep I said it, picture Jay and Will holding a gun, selling coke and dropping the C-Bomb like it's a hot potato, yep that's how bad this film is.

My advice is go paint a wall and watch it dry as that would be more entertaining than this film, or in fact stick hot needles in your eyes whilst watching that paint dry!!

I think everyone involved in this film needs to go stand in the corner and think about the errors of their behaviour in bringing this film to any screens!!

Very poor effort, I'm actually giggling to myself again thinking about the three brothers trying to act as Essex boy gangsters haha!

Avoid this film like the plague!!! If you ignore this and watch it, well you've been warned!!!

My thoughts before i watched this was how much more can they add to the film on the history on the Essex boys films as there is quite a few Essex boys movies out of different peoples eyes of views but remembering these are all based on true events not actual facts but this film has a really good story line all the actors was great and too see good actors all in one film is just great. The film is full of gritty hard core manic ness an the ending took me by shock. With the little twist at the end I'm a big fan of Paul tanter films also a big fan of Simon Phillips all Paul tanters projects never disappoint me all have a good story lines. I don't know why people moan its just a movie for people viewing with out films like this people wouldn't get to watch top notch movies well done to all cast and crew. Looking forward to watching many more films written by Paul tanter.
