Ste M Amateurish acting, amateurish plot - not worth a watch. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the first movie a lot slower with a poorer cast . Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Following on from the death of the Essex Boys this film adds depth to the character of Carlton Leach...surrounded by a great 90s soundtrack and heaps of violence Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review r 9 I like this one more than the first instalment. 'Rise of the Footsoldier Part II' is, albeit marginally, enjoyable. My main issue of the average original is that there's no reason to care one jot about lead character Carlton. While he still isn't likeable, I felt myself a little bit more invested in him. That's a positive step. There are, obviously, still a load of issues. The dialogue remains poor, while the overall pacing continues to be hit-and-miss. The level of acting is questionable, also. With that said, I do think it improves on the 2007 film - the plot, most crucially. Ricci Harnett is passable as Carlton. None of the others stick out, though Coralie Rose (Denny) is at least likeable. It's also interesting to see Charlie Heaton, nowadays a star of 'Stranger Things', involved in a very minor role. I'd class this as good, even if it only scrapes into that bracket. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately after loving the first film so much I was left feeling very disappointed with this sequel. The second film is a direct follow on from where the first left off and an attempt to tell the continuing story of the life of real life British hard man Carlton Leach. Unfortunately I was just left feeling that this film just didn't need making at all. In complete contrast to the first film, the second has no real plot to it and also unlike the first, the supporting characters have no real depth to them. Although it may be an accurate telling of the events which happened to him since the end of the last film, there is no real plot to the story, which I felt just leaves the whole film feeling a bit lost. However what I found the most disappointing is that, again in complete contrast to the first film, there is no real action in it. To sum the contrast between the two films best I'll actually borrow what I read from another reviewer of the film when he explained, the first film was one that once you had watched it one you could watch again and again, the second is one that once you've watched it you really wish you hadn't. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Hard-boiled British crime thriller with a fair amount of gangster stereotyping going on.
