Description Essex Boys (2000,UK) - directed by Terry Winsor



Essex Boys is a 1999 "gangster" film that takes the viewer into the gritty, dangerous

domain of Essex's drug-dealing underworld. The story is narrated in part by a lad

named Billy, a lowly (but fairly quick-witted) driver for the self-important kingpins,

and though we don't see everything from Billy's vantage point, it is an effective and

engaging means of presenting the story. Though the characters and the story are pure

fiction, the inspiration for the film came from the murder of three suspected drug

dealers whose bodies were found in a Range Rover in Essex in 1995. The story created

around this real-life event is highly imaginative, plausible, gripping, and suspenseful.



Sean Bean (Sharpe, Extremely Dangerous, Bravo Two Zero, The Fifteen Streets, Golden Eye),

donning a cockney-flavoured Essex accent, is simply superb as the jealous, arrogant,

mean-spirited, foul-mouthed Jason Locke, a drug-dealing thug who's just been released

from prison (and who thinks he's God's gift to women). He's one of those chaps, the girth

of whose vocabulary is such that he'd easily be rendered speechless were he required to

utter so much as one sentence without lacing it liberally with the "F" word. There is

not much at all to like about: Locke. He treats women like dirt and has little more

respect for his colleagues.
