Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) This is the fourth film to have been inspired by the 1995 execution of three drug dealers in a Range Rover just outside Chelmsford, and it is every bit as ninnyish as the other three. Rated: 1/5 Feb 7, 2013 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies For hooliganalia apologists only. Rated: 1/5 Feb 7, 2013 Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine The umpteenth iteration of this hackneyed story delivers absolutely nothing that hasn't been done better in made-for-telly thrillers. Rated: 1/5 Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue Tired genre fare that delivers little in the way of insight. Rated: 2/5 Feb 9, 2019 Full Review Josh Winning Total Film Despite decent performances, what follows is an unfocused shambles that Nevern's shouty voiceover desperately attempts to make sense of. Rated: 2/5 Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) It's very difficult to work up interest once again in such a collection of thick psychopathic mobsters, their molls and their brutish, clich-ridden lives.

Audience Member horrifically bad film the voice over was the worst I've ever heard. it made a terrible film even worse! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Shockingly bad geeza-gangster made for those who worship at the alter of cockney carve-ups, featuring some truly dreadful performances and the most hilarious voice over ever committed to digital video - seriously, he sounds like an over-excited football pundit. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible casting, plot that could have been cobbled together by anyone with the vaguest idea of the story and a low budget. What could go wrong? Everything. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Rubbish - enough said. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member rubbish attempt at telling the Rettendon murders story a long long way off rise of the footsoldier Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was a decent gangster/hooligan movie. I had mixed feelings about Nevern's narration. As much as I do rate him as an actor and I do normally like narrations dictating films, I thought at times he might have been trying too hard and every sentence seemed like a 'punchline'. This is not to take away from the overall performances of him and the other cast members who all had their part to play. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/19 Full Review Read all reviews
