The fall of the essex boys (1 Viewer)

[Nick]

Thought id give it a go as i was reading a book related to it! Never seen such a shit film, the actors are dog shit and for a film set in the 90's the amount of new shape cars was laughable. At one point there was an 05 plate corsa parked up!

They can stop making films about the same story now!

I haven't had chance to watch it yet, I had it on pre-order since November and it arrived on Monday.

I've read all of Bernard O'Mahoney's books in relation to the story, all of which I thought were excellent. The original film Essex Boys was pure crap, and the film Rise Of The Footsoldier based on Carlton Leach wasn't much better. If you want a realistic portrayal of what actually happened then Bonded By Blood is a must see.

I'll try and watch the latest film in the next week and give my opinion on whether its realistic to what happened, or another dud like the 1st two films mentioned.


Realist.
