Essex Boys Retribution (2013)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Absolutely brilliant

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

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!!!

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!?

I managed to watch about 15 minutes of this rubbish before finally turning it off. Acting is terrible and the storyline seems even worse.Having watched the original Essex Boys, I was hoping for something similar, but this is just embarrassing.I don't know whether the 4 main characters had to audition for the part, as there acting is terrible. I was actually cringing watching them trying to act!!I was looking forward to another Lock Stock type film, or at least a half decent script, but this was truly shocking. Im annoyed that I wasted even 15 minutes of my time watching it.Absolute rubbish

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.
