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

One of the worst films ever made 4 nancy boys acting to be gangsters, its a comedy i laughed its so pathetic seriously rubbish 2 hours of my life il never get back
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.

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.
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!!!
