Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 02/07/2013
1/5
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. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies 02/07/2013

For hooliganalia apologists only. Go to Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine 02/04/2013
1/5
The umpteenth iteration of this hackneyed story delivers absolutely nothing that hasn't been done better in made-for-telly thrillers. Go to Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue 02/09/2019
2/5
Tired genre fare that delivers little in the way of insight. Go to Full Review Josh Winning Total Film 02/04/2013
2/5
Despite decent performances, what follows is an unfocused shambles that Nevern's shouty voiceover desperately attempts to make sense of. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 01/27/2013
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/18/2015 horrifically bad film the voice over was the worst I've ever heard. it made a terrible film even worse! See more 06/11/2015 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. See more 08/24/2013 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. See more 07/01/2013 Rubbish - enough said. See more 04/11/2013 rubbish attempt at telling the Rettendon murders story a long long way off rise of the footsoldier See more 04/04/2013 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. See more Read all reviews
