Leslie Felperin Guardian Say what you might about the Rise of the Footsoldier franchise - for example, that the films are boringly repetitive or that they wallow way too much in macho, estuary-accented crime-flick cliches - at least they're consistent. Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2021 Full Review Stefan Pape Common Sense Media Let's just say to get through this, a suspension of disbelief is required. Rated: 2/5 Apr 13, 2022 Full Review Jack Hawkins HeyUGuys Origins won't win any new fans, but for those who find humour in this obscene franchise, the fifth and supposedly final film will prove to be a highly watchable romp. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Chris Ward Flickering Myth Despite its many flaws Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins still entertains enough and doesn't deviate too far from the template set by its earlier predecessors, or at least not enough to matter when you fancy some knuckle-headed Brit gangster action.

Bruce K Pretty routine british gangster movie Another one that is dark (visual wise) and violent. Nothing special about this film but noticed the lead character, no matter how tough he is, seems to have a long crying scene. Showing their range of their acting abilities, I gather. Almost forgot......a lot of bad wigs! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/22 Full Review r 9 Basically what you'd expect from this. With the exception of nudity, which I don't recall seeing once, 'Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins' features all the other hallmarks from the previous four films - from the overt drug taking to the cringey 'laddish' behaviour. It does feel a little (comparatively) toned down though, I will say. The cast are the cast, none of them are anything amazing but they do commit to their roles in fairness. Terry Stone, Craig Fairbrass and Roland Manookian reprise their roles, which I do like as I'm all for cast continuity when it comes to a film series. One newcomer is Vinnie Jones, who shockingly hasn't appeared in any of the preceding flicks - how? I'm not sure. He's alright, bringing the quintessential hardman act. I mentioned it in my review of the preceding entry, but again I have no idea how they've made this many Footsoldier films ... and this one got a cinema release! I bet they're somehow cooking up a sixth entry as we speak. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review peter s Pointless displays of violence. Super annoying. Couldn't watch past 20 minutes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Friday night perfect. For a Brit of the right age, who gets the references. Thanks for that. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this series of movies . Good old british gangster yarn with a great soundtrack good cast Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review harris r The most overrated movie ever. I'm a big fan of Fairbrass and Jones, but the writing and directing in this flop was horrible and amateurish. The score was annoyingly loud and the action scenes choppy. Huge pass on this mess. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
