Review of Rise of the Footsoldier (2007) by Antonis T — 03 Feb 2009
Hardly great art or subtle, this is a very violent, profane and nasty brit gangster film that pulls no punches. Its a well made account of what led up to the 'Range Rover murders', as we follow Carlton Leach's rise from hooligan to gangster.
Suprisingly good performances and some well staged violence make this worth a look. And you get to see Terry Stone wearing the iffiest wig in cinematic history! Looks like he nicked it off of Dougal from the magic roundabout!
