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
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 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.
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 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!!!
