Rise of the Footsoldier III - Die Pat Tate Story

It's not as bad as I expected it to be. The language is a bit fruity and repetitive and the plot a bit old hat.

Switch your brain off and pretend you're a mockney with south end swagger.

This movie isn't just another crime-action flick-it's a gritty, grounded story that keeps you hooked from the first scene to the last. The action sequences are raw and chaotic, never feeling overly choreographed, which gives them a sense of urgency and realism. What really stands out, though, is the story. It's simple but powerful, with characters who are flawed and relatable. You care about what happens to them, and that emotional connection makes every fight and chase feel even more intense. The pacing is excellent, with just the right balance of quiet, reflective moments and explosive action. Even the quieter scenes are loaded with tension, so you're never bored. The film's gritty aesthetic adds to the immersion, making it feel like you're right there in the middle of the chaos. It's the kind of movie that stays with you long after it's over, and for fans of crime-action films, it's a definite winner.

Remember how disappointed you were with the lack of violence in "Rise of the Footsoldier Part II"? Well, worry not my friend, because this next sequel is, if anything, more violent than over-the-top original. Heads and faces are smashed with hammers and fire extinguishers, skewered with broken bottles, and forced through plate glass windows. I lost count of the bludgeonings and stabbings in this movie.

This one focuses on the Craig Fairbrass character from the first "Footsoldier". He was one of the bigger psychopaths in that movie, but here, is humanised somewhat. He also looks quite a bit older, but can still play scary.

"Rise of the Footsoldier 3" also has less of a story than the first one, but it kept me engaged through its constant violence and central performances. I say check it out.

I was 19 and worked in Basildon in august 95 before the executions think I just reminisce it makes me think it was around us all working away. As we went out drinking and went to Rachel's just weird how things pan out. The films are good and make you think ? No one will ever solve the rettodden hit it was a professional job nothing left at all it's a mind blowing case. Like Carlton leach says in foot soldier 1 the only people who no the truth are in the ground very wise words. Great films though for imagination. 👍👍

I'm a fan of Craig Fairbrass and really liked him in London Heist, of which was way better written (by Fairbrass) than this hot mess. Amateur writer Mike Loveday assembled a convoluted screenplay that basically shows violence and cocaine marathons and bounces back and forth in the scenes and has more plot holes than a strainer. Zackary Adler's directing was OK, probably the best he could do with such a poor script. It's too bad more effort wasn't put towards the writing of at least having a seasoned writer at least proofread this mess of a script. Although the comedy and violence was still entertaining, it's still only a generous 5/10 from me, more-so for decent cinematography and awesome location sets and visuals.
