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.
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.
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.
