Having seen all of the previous "Essex Boys" related films, I watched this with a degree of trepidation. Surely there wasn't going to be yet more previously untold material to surface here? Thankfully this is a fictional spin on the infamous story of the Rettendon murders. It packs a punch in parts and contains some humorous moments along the way. Although the acting leaves a lot to be desired in parts it is still worth watching as it contains a few unexpected twists throughout. The four new breed Essex Boys reminded me of the yuppie drug dealers in "Lock Stock....". They are certainly not your typical drug dealers / gangland characters who would instill fear in anyone coming across them as is normally the case in these sorts of films. I found that the film passed quickly and kept my attention throughout. Although it is not the grittiest of films I would still say give it a watch to all those who like British gangland films.
