Great film, even better performance!

Rise of the footsoldier is a very good film but the best thing about it was the performance by Ricci Harnett.

I thought he was amazing in the role of Carlton Leach. Even though Ricci is much smaller than Carlton he still managed to pull it off and thought he was perfect for the role. He gave such a realistic performance I had to watch it over and over again.

The soundtrack was wicked too.

Can't wait to watch 'Breathe', heard great things about it.

He was aight - hardly worth watching over and over again because of his performance. In all honesty the scene at the end where he's balling and smashing $hit seemed over the top.

I thought Ricci Harnett was easily the weakest part of the movie, he was good but everyone else was much better, I think the film as a whole became much better when it started focusing on Pat Tate/Tony Tucker.
