Rise of the Footsoldier 3

I'm a fan of Craig Fairbrass and really liked him in London Heist, of which was way better written (by Fairbrass) than this hot mess. Amateur writer Mike Loveday assembled a convoluted screenplay that basically shows violence and cocaine marathons and bounces back and forth in the scenes and has more plot holes than a strainer. Zackary Adler's directing was OK, probably the best he could do with such a poor script. It's too bad more effort wasn't put towards the writing of at least having a seasoned writer at least proofread this mess of a script. Although the comedy and violence was still entertaining, it's still only a generous 5/10 from me, more-so for decent cinematography and awesome location sets and visuals.

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.

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.

Seriously who is watching this garbage about men who have the mentality of testosterone charged 13 year old boys. The kind of men who want another man castrated because he slept with his "bird" even though he himself has been banging everything he can get his hands on... You know, them "dirty little cows" not the breeding type. If these people exist in this form they are moronic. They're basically cave men. How is that entertaining beyond comedic value and I say this as someone who was born and bred in the same place as Fairbrass.

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. 👍👍
