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.
After enjoying watching Rise of the Footsoldier I thought I would give this a go. Like the original it is a low budget, fairly run of the mill, violent gangster film. What makes this more watchable is the quality acting and entertaining dialogue. Craig Fairbrass for me is up there with Ray Winstone in this type of film and gives a really powerful performance. Here is a gangster who you really would not want to get on the wrong side of!! All in all if you like this type of film it's definitely worth a watch.
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!!
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. 👍👍
