OK it's not going to win any Oscars but I've seen a lot worse, biggest surprise was Casey Batchelor acting skills, she's actually a good actress. Plot wasn't the best but it had it's good moments. Worth a watch if you want to pass an hour or so just don't be expecting too much out of it though

All down south. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why are all these films set in the South of England. I remember the 80s in the North and it wasn't for the faint hearted. Bad ass southern people. I don't think so. You should have been and lived in the North during these times.
Doesn't Worth Your Time

It is mostly a gangster movie filled with people with bad temper. There aren't much substances in it. When there was a sudden opportunity to become the most furious gang, everyone tried to prove that they are the toughest and merciless gang of all.
The story was okay but the acting was quite mediocre. Some of the actors and actresses hardly knew how to do a convincing acting. Some of these actors and actresses had important role in the movie. But because of their poor performance the scenes were not that effective which affected the overall movie experience.
Not Recommended.

This movie is waste of 2 hrs approx. Only dialogue which can be understandable is "F*** U" or "F*****g"...... Don't know why this movie have even get 7 rating, it's not even worth of half of that. This movie is like u cannot even watch just doing forward also. Well as like some user's posted here, "Awful" is the correct word for this movie.
No substance

If you like seeing angry people being horrible to everyone they come into contact with, then you have a 90 minute treat ahead! Without any meaningful storyline or redeeming features, no charactor arcs or consistancy. This film was massively disappointing. The first movie was is a good film within the genre, With good characters and directing. This film is weak and predictable and Unfortunately they replaced everything good about the first movie with constant over the top posturing and aggression. Avoid

Dean (Sam Strike) and Damon (George Russo) are Essex boys who meet in prison. After they get out, they work for a drug dealer who owns a bar. Dean is quiet and takes on a menial position. The group has issues within and without as the police attempt to bring them down.
The acting wasn't there. The plot seemed a bit simple. A film that was more drama than action.
Guide: F-word, sex, nudity. I had difficulty with the accent.

Worse than 1

Another badly acted B rated Brit flick from the usual actors trying to look hard. The Essex Boys story has been milked that many times, you would think the producers would take a break.
This one is bad. Really bad. Unbelievable. Terrible script and dialogue.
Don't bother wasting your time.
don't waste your time/ money watching this

bonded by blood 1 was excellent, tamer hassan vincent regan, terry stone all physically big, and believable as menacing gangsters
bonded by blood stars sam strike and martin delaney, these two look like schoolboys and are about as threatening as a poodle
in this movie every scene involves smoking and saying " f1king c1nt" the director seems to think smoking makes you a gangster,
the storyline was boring, they tried to add a romantic aspect to the movie, this is supposed to be a hard hitting gangster movie, not the notebook
none of the characters were likable,some had terrible fake cockney accents
there was far too much swearing , every other sentence had the F word, and way too much shouting
the only positive was that it didn't star danny dyer, if it did it would have gone straight to DVD
hopefully this will be the last of the " essex boys" movies

It's awful
bishysbus3 September 2021
Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes. Jonathan Sothcott produces exceedingly bad films. This mish-mash of a would-be gangster film is so bad that you have to continue watching it to see if anything good happens.
Based on the book by Bernard O'Mahoney, which instantly means that you cannot believe it's authenticity, the casting is terrible with a Cast of amateur British actors all out to try and win oscars for their abysmal performances.
Why this film was ever made is beyond me. But the director and producer should go back to working at the burger bar.

Absolutely terrible please don't watch

As per usual this is mainly ruined by terry stone playing a hard man it's completely unbelievable and is just damn right cringe worthy it really needs to stop, the story is bad the acting is bad it's just all round a terribly bad movie that shouldn't of been made, the fact that they are still to this very day milking the Essex boys murders to make these terrible movies is pathetic and they desperately need to come up with some new material instead of putting these disgusting criminals up on a pedestal, again though most of these downright cringe fests have the same faces in them mainly terry stone the most unscary hard man to every grace your screen, so anyway please take my advice and avoid this at all costs and anything else made by these clowns.
