Watch Bonded by Blood For Free

Very well executed

Best movie ever!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

In 1995, drug suppliers and career criminals Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate and Craig Rolfe were blasted to death by a shot gun whilst waiting in a Range Rover in Rettendon, Essex. The film charts their rise to become the most prolific dealers and feared criminals in the south of England. Maintaining the hold on their empire with fear and violence until their untimely death.There is something comforting about a film starring Tamer Hassan. You know you are going to get swearing, and you know that you are not going to have to concentrate a lot, but you know you will enjoy it in some sort of masochistic way.And when you get the added bonus of it being about gangsters, and also completely 'true', films like this are a must.You can tick all the boxes to any brit gangster film released in the last lifetime.There is a torture scene.There is a woman crying at a phone box with a kidThere is driving with drugs and a blonde womanThere is a murder at point blank range with a shotgunand there is a man killed at the beginning, and then him narrating the film, and then at the end, the same scene at the beginning played again.For those who like these kind of films, it's effortless, made at the Nick Love movie school for geezers, and wears this on it's sleeve.Not original, not clever, average performances, but worth watching.

This film is a very inaccurate portrayal of the men. I found it extremely disappointing after anticipating it for a few months. I found rise of the foot soldiers to be much more realistic and I guess there is a reason why it is, as ROTFS is a list of events told by an extremely reliable person, an extremely close friend of Tony Tucker and also someone who knew Pat Tate and Craig Rolfe very well, his name is Carlton Leach.However 'Bonded By Blood' is a film by Terry stone, who has no personal knowledge of the murders or the people involved, and therefore has painted a more hollywoodised version and transformed the characters completely.For instance Darren Nichols was an Essex boy from near Braintree, and not a rude-boy type who spoke similar to dizzy rascal. He was chubby and was pretty unintelligent. Jack Whomes was not a tall bodybuilder but instead average height and plump. The person who really made me laugh was Pat Tates character. I thought Pat Tate was of Irish descent and not Turkish! LOL. Tony Tucker had a strange mullet type haircut, and was not often seen in a suit. Craig Rolfe is also portrayed in this film as a young wise expert in handling guns, and very sharp and of strong status within the firm. The reality couldn't be further from the truth. He was Tony Tuckers little runner, that constantly got shown up publicly by the firm, he was also rather dim and had no valid opinion in the firm.All I can say is its a good film if you want to watch a snatch / Rollin with the nines type film, but if you are like me and have read many books on the Rettendon murders and then watched this expecting it to be a very accurate story and portrayal of the characters involved then you will be very disappointed.

"Better than Rise of the Footsoldier" i don't think so.Having lived close to Rettendon for most of my life i've followed media reports and read many books on the now famous "Range Rover killings" and was looking forward to watching this film.What a waste of time!...if you don't know the story or details about the Essexboy murders then this film won't help you in any way...it will only leave you bored and confused.The production fails on many levels.The acting and script are beyond words in my opinion,there's little in construction of character building or realism,there's no background or explanation of the story and to be honest i can't see why this film was ever made.After the success of Julian Gilbey's ROTFS,which is a brilliant and outstanding work of art,this is an embarrassment.Carlton Leach's version of events seem and probably are more accurate than this poor effort which claims to be "The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth" It looks like Bernard O Mahoney and the makers of this film are just cashing in!...As i said forget about this!.... Watch ROTFS instead!

I am so disappointed just travelled 65 miles to see this garbage. The movie has some good actors in it yet none of them show a ounce of any of they true talent.The story is poorly put together and doesn't really follow a theme or character from start to finish. The main focus is sniffing drugs and swearing and believe me there had a good true story to work on,Tammer Hussein who is a good actor when he puts it on was crap as pat Tate,Craig fairbrass makes him look like harry potter.This film makes you cringe at nearly every scene.Overall not worth a 2nd thought.When will someone pull there finger out and give us another ROTFS or the business type film.To be truthful i think never......
