Essex Boys: Retribution

It is not too serious and the plot sort of makes sense but has holes in it and could have been improved. The characters have no back story, there is a twist to the prisoner but all the characters never seem to have any emotion other than anger. However it is a bit of fun and if you try to enjoy it for what it is then you will like it up to the ending. The writers clearly felt they had to remain faithful to the Essex boys story, which made for a completely dis satisfactory ending in which all of them die but it doesn't matter because we have no idea who they are, except that they have killed and robbed to get where they are and the slightly engrossing film beforehand just seems like a pointless tale because it leads to nowhere. Overall it is poorly written and needed some character development which had none of. Not to mention there is some suspect acting.

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!!!

Another awful British gangster movie!

Ever since Football factory was released we have been bombarded with crap like this for people trying to make a quick buck.

Don't get me wrong Rise Of the Foot Soldier was a brilliant movie and very dark and gritty with real believable characters and good acting unlike the mugs in this film!

And thats the point of it really the total unrealism of it all, Its supposed to be set in today which makes it silly as you just wouldn't get four average looking English blokes as gangsters and bank robbers.

The current underworld in London is mainly Russians and Albanians with the Asians running the heroin trade So when is someone going to make a realistic modern gangster movie other than this clichéd cockney hardman rubbish that died years ago?

In a summary don't waste 82 minutes of your life.

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.
