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 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!!
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.
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. 👍👍
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.
