"Better than Rise of the Footsoldier" i don't think so.Having lived close to Rettendon for most of my life i've followed media reports and read many books on the now famous "Range Rover killings" and was looking forward to watching this film.What a waste of time!...if you don't know the story or details about the Essexboy murders then this film won't help you in any way...it will only leave you bored and confused.The production fails on many levels.The acting and script are beyond words in my opinion,there's little in construction of character building or realism,there's no background or explanation of the story and to be honest i can't see why this film was ever made.After the success of Julian Gilbey's ROTFS,which is a brilliant and outstanding work of art,this is an embarrassment.Carlton Leach's version of events seem and probably are more accurate than this poor effort which claims to be "The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth" It looks like Bernard O Mahoney and the makers of this film are just cashing in!...As i said forget about this!.... Watch ROTFS instead!
