5.0 out of 5 stars RISE of a GRIPPING Action Movie from the U.K.!, March 12, 2009

RISE of the FOOT SOLDIER

I haven't seen a good action and drama movie like this for a long time.

- The dialogues are funny in many scenes.

- The acting is fascinating. It keeps me watching and watching till the end. There's no moment of boredom.

- The action is non-stop. It's a bloody and violent film.

- It convincingly portrays the danger of steroids.

- It credibly shows the deadly downside of doing business with gangsters. When something goes wrong, i.e. some cocaine goes missing, they will blame it on you. They'll never listen to your reason. They'll kill you to make an example for others. There's truly no honor among thieves.

Just saw this film and its an amazing British take on Goodfellas.

Violent, Funny and Outragous with some great performances from some great up and coming actors like Craig Fairbrass and Terry Stone.

This is a great flick with lots of action and a real-life plot which ends with real BBC News footage. A great movie to watch in parts or even all at once.
