Rise of the Footsoldier 3

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 definitely put this film into the "so bad it's good category"! It reminded me of a kind of parody of a gangster movie, a bit like the Fast Shows "It's a Right Royal Cockney Barrel Of Monkeys"!! The plot was ridiculous, the comically fearless central character embodied every "gangster cliche" there is and the script was diabolical. Having said that, the soundtrack was brilliant and some of the scenes were hysterical! - especially the one involving Shaun Ryder! This isn't exactly the Godfather, but if you're in the mood for a wonderfully puerile, ridiculously violent and dark-humoured movie, then give it a go. Above all, it is, quite enjoyable!!

Seriously who is watching this garbage about men who have the mentality of testosterone charged 13 year old boys. The kind of men who want another man castrated because he slept with his "bird" even though he himself has been banging everything he can get his hands on... You know, them "dirty little cows" not the breeding type. If these people exist in this form they are moronic. They're basically cave men. How is that entertaining beyond comedic value and I say this as someone who was born and bred in the same place as Fairbrass.

A different take concentrating on Pat Tate as opposed to Carlton Leach. Contains some cracking humour (The swimming pool scene, Cheese) but plenty of violence as expected. Good script and acting from the old school team that were in the original. You can't beat Terry Stone (Who plays Tony Tucker). A good instalment in the series.

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. 👍👍
