Rating: 2/5 --
A pungent mess of gangster cliche.

Rating: 2/5 --
One must question whether it needs to exist at all, ploughing as it does an already well-worn crime-film furrow.

Willfully exploitative...

Rating: 2/5 --
Everything from script to performances goes through the motions, with only Vincent Regan's Mickey registering in more than one dimension.

There's no hiding the fact that Bonded By Blood is ultimately pretty anaemic, giving no further insight into an already over-exposed incident.

Rating: 2/5 --
Based on the same true story previously told on film with skill (2000's Essex Boys) and without (2007's Rise of the Footsoldier), it's kind of difficult to understand why there's yet another movie version. Especially one as uninteresting as this.

Shadows on the Wall
Rating: 2/5 --
Though director Sacha Bennett's effort is well shot and evokes its mid-nineties setting well, its disjointed structure makes for a weak narrative, and only in the third act does it finally come together with any sort of momentum or urgency.

Product Description:
This biographical thriller charts the notorious rise of southern England's most famous gangsters-- Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate, and Craig Rolfe. The trio of drug suppliers and career criminals were found in 1995, blasted to death by a shot gun in a Range Rover in Essex. A stronghold of fear and violence that allowed them to maintain a large, drug fuelled empire perhaps led to their untimely deaths.
