BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

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

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Benjames800 Same as the other reviews! Many better films like this are available. ROTF, The Business, The Football Factory. Even cockneys VS Zombies gave this film a run for its money! Same old southern crap, even the camera angles are off putting! There are quite a few parts where I think they ran out of ideas so decided to get the actors to say c@nt repeatedly just to make it sound more edgy! Crap film. With the actors used this could have probably been a half decent film! (Even though it has been done to death) All in all, rubbish film. A poor performance from most of the cast and many faults with the plot so as not to be entirely watchable! To be honest this film would make me ashamed to be "one of them cockneys" Luckily I from up north and try my best not to associate with people further south than Chesterfield.

djkbee Im not understanding all the bad reviews here. I think to watch this movie for a start you need to have the acquired taste of east-end London cockney slang and gangster culture (drugs, sex and a lot of the word c**t) I was sceptical about this one... i kind of gave up with anything Tamar Hassan is in due to the disappointing movie releases he has had since The Business by Nick Love. I watched the likes of city Rats for example and was shocked he would take part in such a crap movie after the success of the Business. I feel like Tamar Hassan has been trying to get that 'right movie' of the cockney gangster that works well and has failed until this one! I saw this on Netflix so on a rainy day gave it a go with super low expectations expecting to turn off by the quarter way through mark. I was wrong, i was hooked on this one. Had a good few laughs at the raging scenes which are full of colourful language and i thought the storyline was enough to keep me watching. Stunned at all the bad reviews on here.

ajay699 A real well put together movie, i have enjoyed it thoroughly. Some great scenes as well as humorous in parts.A must see movie, not one to be missed. All I can say is watch it and judge for yourself.This is the true story of the essex boys the whole truth and nothing but the truth.you will have to wait until 26th December 2010 for the DVD release so go on and treat yourselfyou deserve it, definitely one for the collection , one you can watch over and over again

drewucl7 As someone whose taste in cinema does not usually run to much violence, choice language, or blood (vampires excepted); I really enjoyed this film! No mere fest of foul language, tough guys, hot chicks, dangerous drugs, big guns, oh, and a Porche for good measure - although it's all there - "Bonded by Blood" has much more going for it. Cleverly directed by Sacha Bennett, this film has excellent touches of visual humour, some very funny lines, and a number of intense performances. There is even a Shakespeare reference - but don't let that put you off! Tamer Hassan as Pat Tate, high on cocaine and drunk on machismo is superbly scary. You have to duck when he starts pumping out the expletives. Altogether a much classier offering than previous efforts in this genre.
