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.
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.
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.

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. 👍👍
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.
