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.

This movie is based on a true story and follows the journey of a psychopath from the football terraces to the world of organised crime. It can be quite humourous at times but its mainly brutal and some of the scenes wouldn't be out of place in any of the saw movies, but it does have a gripping story line and some of the best actors in England in it.

This movie has non-stop action and drama. The dialog is comical at times. Gangsters on roids and a violent mob. Please see this film if you like mob movies. I like the british accents.

Different than your Snatch,Lock stock and Layercake, almost on another level really, while there is nothing wrong with those movies at all,the intensity of this movie and that is based on a true story. I didn't think the English were so Barbaric, from Hooliganism(I have a strong distaste for Anarchy) to Gangsterism,This Brutal and Gritty British Tale will make you feel you were there.

The US lacks a lot of British independent films unfortunately. That being said, this is one of the ones that the US is REALLY missing out on!

A "guy flick" through and through, it has borderline ridiculous violence, plot twists, great dialogue, and other facets that will keep you entertained. Do yourself a favor and add this to your DVD collection immediately!

lot of drugs, violence, and people doing bad things to each other. All in a cockney accent thats almost unintelligible...whats not to like?!?

No reason to reiterate everything he said, just read his review. Decent 3 star movie, although kinda long and I'd like to see someone count the number of times they used the word 'c*%t' - as after the first billion, we get the idea, they are foul mouth bad boys.

I love this movie and was excited to be buying it. However I don't recall seeing anywhere in the ad that it is a REGION B dvd meaning it won't play on dvd players in the USA. Basically I have a useless DVD sitting here. I may see if I can return it or resell it.
