Can Anyone Tell Me Something Good About This Film ?


All I got was a dull cliche ridden poor movie with some of the most cringeworthy unconvincing acting of all time , especially from the 'top boy ' lead actor , he was embarassing !

No. I can't tell you anything about this film that was good. It was so incredibly awful on just about every level that it made me feel like giving up my job, find the people who had anything to do with it, hold them at gunpoint and force them watch it on repeat for 4 days straight without a break even for sleep so they could all understand what a horrific piece of *beep* they had released upon the cinematic world. I would then get them to apologise publicly by forcing them to eat every "Rise Of The Footsoldier" DVD made for the rest of their lives.

it's about idiot *beep* kicking, stabbing and blasting each others heads in. it's also about "fack! cun'! fack! cun'! fack orf! Cun'!" And that sad music when some facker that you don't give a toss about dies. I don't care! He was a cun'! actually yeah one good thing, when he takes the ecstasy, but i always get a kick out of realistic and happy drug scenes. i thought the camerawork was good in that scene. But what the fack was up with that 'dark' scene when that cun' with stupid hair was in that house with the blonde girl and she's doing a shisha, and it's treated as if it's something terrible. There's more harm to be done from drinking a cup of coffee!

My favourite part? When I woke up and saw the credits. I have to say, I love hooligan and gangster films, and even REMEMBER when this car was found in Essex. I thought I would like this film, but I found it a total bore, disjointed, like two *beep* films put together to make one (the two stories had practically nothing to do with one another to me?).

I think when I started to hate it was when there was the montage of nightclub fights to a really bad Phil Collins impersonator. The soundtrack was awful except when the wanker tried E. I honestly kept looking at the clock wondering when I would be put out of my misery (my husband somehow liked this tripe and I was watching it with him. He had SEEN IT BEFORE and thought I'd like it because of the violence. Which was pretty gory, but didn't redeem this *beep* film). It seemed to go on for 3 hours.

two of the actors were voice actors in Call of duty 4, Billy Murray played Captain Price and Craig Fairbrass played Gaz. Outside of that..........I got nothing.

Half of the soundtrack. Tucker's hair.

I thought it was considerably better than Fall Of The Essex Boys. ROTFS made an effort to use period-correct music. Possibly the violence was a bit over the top. And the blood spurts were the wrong colour and often unrealistic.
