It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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.

Review: This is your typical East End wannabe gangster movie about 4 drug dealers that mess with the wrong people. It's connected to the famous Range Rover killings, which they have made quite a few English movies about, but it starts off well and then it goes downhill. The acting Is just like all the other English gangster movies that you have seen, and the storyline is full of drugs, sex and violence which we have grown to expect from movies in this genre. I stuck with the movie to find out what was going to happen with the 3 brothers and the drug maker, and there are a couple of twists that make it interesting, but it's nothing amazing. It seemed quite low budget and I couldn't help thinking that the boys should have left the country from the time that they knew that someone was after them or when the cops started to put pressure on them. They didn't even try to hide, which was a bit strange, and they just stayed in there flat when they new that people wanted to murder them. Anyway, it's watchable but not one that you will rewind. Round-Up: I usually get ticked off when I see the usual faces in these English gangster movies, but this movie really needed some of the old tough nuts that we have seen many times before. Billy Murray is stuck in jail throughout the movie so you hardly see him at all. The 4 main characters just seem like a bunch of kids trying to play a big mans game, and they just get too big for there boots. To be honest, I don't know why they didn't get murdered earlier on in the movie because there not really underworld material.Budget: $1million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there English gangster movies which are full of sex, drugs & violence. 3/10

Almost everything about this movie is bad. The script is appalling but this is overshadowed by the fact that it's acted out as though this was the first time the cast had ever stepped in front of a camera. Not one character is believable largely because of these two failings. Borrowing loosely from the 'Essex Boys' history of drug dealing and violence that followed it the attempt is made to bring the scene up to date with a crew of brothers taking the position of the 'new boys'. The back story is delivered by the Bill Murray of TV's The Bill who you would think could add some weight to the film sadly this isn't the case. He instead offers a performance that is cruising along at best.Reading the other reviews I can only imagine that the writers were friends and family of the director or they have set their bar very low for what they expect from a movie.
