Review of Rise of the Footsoldier (2007) by Tom M — 06 May 2008
Contrived and forced, seems to only involve "characters" shouting "you soppy fucking cunt" at each other. Completely lacked any development of any of the characters or anything resembling a coherent narrative- to the extent that climax is a complete tangent of the actual 'rise of the footsoldier'.
It covers its numerous flaws with layers of gratuitous violence meant to shock but results with inadvertent humour. Meaningless film with nothing intelligent or even interesting to say about the themes of violence and manhood it offers and completely lacking in originality.
