Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Mohamed H Glamorisation of thuggery , stupidity , with a rubbish cast of actors who know how to act like delinquents and mindless so-called gangsters Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the better british gangster movies . Ultra violent . Good cast Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie and its many sequels shows us a group of monsters pretending to be men, they even try to elicit an emotional response when they meet their deserved demise. Yet another gangster film glorifying pointless killings and beatings, that only appeal to an audience who admire them. On a side note, would make an excellent drinking game for number of times they use the C word Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member ) Expected the BBC and Empire Magazine to rate low a gritty film. Dont be fooled by their reviews, this film is a dark journey of hedonistic youth, paranoia, violence and chaos. It doesn't glamorise the gangster lifestyle, it more portrays it as a dangerous world to be in. Awesome film Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review r 9 Better than expected, if still not good. Based on a true story, 'Rise of the Footsoldier' is your standard London-ish gangster film - literally, given the cast. It does everything you'd predict and then some. However, it does come out more watchable than I thought it would. I wouldn't say I enjoyed it or that it's that good, but it makes for an OK watch. The casting is as obvious as possible. It features the likes of Terry Stone, Roland Manookian, Neil Maskell, Billy Murray, Kierston Wareing and Frank Harper - none of which are surprising to see, I'm more shocked Danny Dyer didn't appear. Ricci Harnett plays the lead role, he's alright. One negative, though, about this 2007 film is Harnett's Carlton, who isn't likeable whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, the characters in these sorta films are always bad people but with ones like 'Green Street Hooligans' or 'The Football Factory', there is at least a small reason to 'care' for the main character. I never did for Carlton, even at the end when it wants you to. Other negatives include the pacing, dialogue and overall story really. I will say it isn't anything that bored or irritated me, but there isn't much - if anything - that I liked either. With that said, I'm still planning to watch the three sequels.
