Like a great many reviewers on this page I liked ESSEX BOYS . Okay maybe it`s not a classic like GET CARTER or THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY but it`s good to see a British gangster film that owes absolutely nothing to Guy Ritchie . Best thing about the film is Sean Bean`s performance as the psycotic bad guy. It`s probably the sort of role that doesn`t need any type of thespian talent but Bean plays these type of bad guys very well and it`s very easy to see why when a Hollywood producer wants a slimey limey villain Bean`s name is top of the list . The only real problem I had with the film is the caption at the start which refers to the real life events which meant I was able to work out the ending of ESSEX BOYS well before it happened
