Rise of the Footsoldier 4: Marbella

If the Marvel franchise made a film about the eponymous Pate Tate, this would be it. As mildly entertaining as it was there is not a single morsel based in fact. They portrayed Tony Tucker, a sociopathic, mindless nutter as a giggling buffoon and Craig Rolfe as his sidekick/punchline. With themes stolen from 'The Business' the film's only saving grace is Craig Fairbrass's brutal portrayal of a truly evil and narcissistic individual who had no regard for anyone or anything. In conclusion it's worth a watch but it's more a comedy than a serious biographical endeavour

I seriously enjoyed this! Not exactly oscar winning but certainly is entertaining!

Story was alright, not too basic, not too complex.

Action was pretty good.

Would watch again in 3+ years Might have to watch the other "Rise of the footsoldier"s now. Didn't realise it was a thing.

March 2022.

I rated this movie a 5. It won't test your grey matter, in fact, your brain isn't necessary for this movie. It's got a very simple and easy to understand plot, lots of heavy duty swearing, and lots of gratuitous violence. Having said all that, it was a very easy film to watch and it moves along at a reasonable pace. It's never boring and if you're looking for a movie with cockney villains running around Marbella hitting people, being nasty, nefarious and downright criminal You'll really enjoy this film. I've seen all the Footsoldier movies and this is not the worst one at all. It won't rock your world of be life changing, but it's not as bad as some of the 1* reviews would suggest. It would have been nice to see a bit more of Marbella, but this movie isn't trying to win any awards for cinematography! A 5* is about right, not bad, not brilliant.

There is a hersay about the brits that they are..........! and this film really shows the cruel side of it. its as you may expect, coke, lots of f-words, and c-words, a whole lot of beating stabbing and shooting, stealing ,cheating and messing around. and in marbella, there are of course no policia/bobbies or bills around, not even a siren, just nice big houses with big bath tubs and of course some british crooks.

i think that even a nitwit can understand that this cant be a reflection of true events. but there are some funny sideshow of bipolar origin that goes tandem with the bad attitude, and if it hadnt been for these moments i would have walked out of the aula.

its the rise of the footsoldier, the grumpy old man understands that, but the mix of gaelic and keltish rumblethumb like king rollo on a high are just good enough for a five.a dig for the blood and gore fan...
