It was a toss up between MI2 and Essex Boys, Essex Boys won.
The film is derived from the Essex Range Rover murders case from three or four years ago. The potential for a good story was good but I came away dissappointed.
I you know the Southend area you'll me more interested in picking out local landmarks than the story line. The only decent character was the driver Billy Wizz. Sean Bean (the star) tried too hard to be Vinnie Jones, some of the humour from Lock Stock would have been welcome.
This isn't a bad film, but it would be more at home on the small screen, it comes across as a cocktail of The Bill and Lock Stock, unfortunately its more The Bill.
Definately one for a wet Sunday afternoon.
