In Essex Boys things happen - fighting, car chases, rape, murder, gunplay but despite that it was boring. So very boring.
The screenwriters made no effort to create believable characters with understandable motivations so you simply don't care what happens to them. The characters just did things - while speaking badly written on-the-nose dialogue.
This lazy writing extends to the plot which has more holes than a thing with lots of holes in. Ultimately all you're left with is something for the director to show Hollywood studios as he tries to get the next Police Academy gig. But then that was probably the whole point of this sorry exercise.
