dont even think capone and boot legging wars, jesse james had as many films about it in such a short period of time
first and second films were great like. bonded by blood was ok like. should of stopped at there
There has been only two movies made about the Essex killings, over ten years apart.
Rambo, who was also a foot soldier, had five movies made about his life.
After those awful wars in space over land rights, they made six movies about those troublesome times in the "Star Wars" saga.
Also that lovely Boxer man Rock Balboa, had six movies made about his life and times.
When that mad scientist went back to the future in that funky car, they made three movies about his adventures.
Lets not forget those nasty apes that have taken over part of the world, they have made three movies about that and the war is still ragging.
Well I have to leave now, I think i've just seen an Ape in my garden.
I hope this helps.

Essex Boys: Law of Survival (2015)
Essex Boys Retribution (2013)
The Hit (2015)
also a bonded by blood 2 comin and sequel to this
essex boys was a big part of Rise of the Footsoldier though other things were covered
star wars, rocky, bttf and rambo were very profitable movies. doubt essex boys subjects makes that much
Yeah I was joking regarding the movies that I mentioned.
For me, the movies you have listed don't really tell the story of the Essex hits, with the exception of Essex Boys - That was "the" official film, and made reference to Leah Betts.
The rest of those movies aren't accurate or related in anyway. They are just riding on the name of the original movie. They don't tell the story, not even from a different prospective.
The Hit, is set in Spain? I'm not sure why you think that movie could in anyway be telling the story of what happened in Essex on Dec 6 1995?
My point was and is, that there have only been two movies about the incident that tells the actual story; Essex boys and Rise of the Foot Soldier. The rest of the movies are trading off the original name and adding nothing to the original story, or offering a different prospective of the incident.
Rise of the Foot Soldier is the better movie of the two, but Essex Boys is more accurate. having said that, the murder scene and blast injuries are very accurate in Rise of the Foot Soldier. If you check the book out, the description of the blast wounds along with the actual pictures of the wounds are frighteningly similar to those in the movie.
What I suspect will happen is the two men convicted of the murders will be released from prison at some point, and when that happens we will get another movie. They are currently under appeal and have always protested their innocence.
I suspect that Michael Steele and Jack Whomes didn't carry out those murders, based on what I have read. However, I suspect that they may in the past have gotten away with crimes that carried similar sentences to the ones which they are currently serving.
That's what I love about Rise of the Foot Soldier; the undertone is that in the end, one way or another justice always finds people who live that lifestyle. Two men went to prison for the wrong crime, but they ended up in the right place. Three men died, and society was better off as a result - is the general feel to the movie's ending.

bonded by blood is bernard o mahoneys the so called top expert on the essex boys who write a few books. film lacked realism for most part imo
the first two as you say are only ones that felt real
There are quite a few...(7 that I can count in my head)
Essex Boys- starring my boyfriend (LOL) Sean Bean,
Rise of the Footsoldier,
Bonded by Blood,
The Fall of the Essex Boys,
Essex Boys: Retribution and
Rise of the Footsoldier: Part 2
Essex Boys- Truth is a documentary about the rise and fall of the original Essex Boys, and the next generation who followed them.
I can't hear you over the volume of my hair.
