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.
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.
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!?

This has to be one of the worst films ever made on British gangsters.
Anyone who gives this a high score must be a friend or family.
Those of you who gave it a 10 please go out and get a life.
Do not watch this film.

I managed to watch about 15 minutes of this rubbish before finally turning it off. Acting is terrible and the storyline seems even worse.
Having watched the original Essex Boys, I was hoping for something similar, but this is just embarrassing.
I don't know whether the 4 main characters had to audition for the part, as there acting is terrible. I was actually cringing watching them trying to act!!
I was looking forward to another Lock Stock type film, or at least a half decent script, but this was truly shocking. Im annoyed that I wasted even 15 minutes of my time watching it.
Absolute rubbish
