Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins

I tried to get past the gratuitous and unnecessary swearing (and I'm no prude!) and find a plot and didn't find one. I can see teenagers thinking it's a cool movie but it's just not. Must admit, I'm surprised that Vinnie Jones and Craig Fairbrass even agreed to be in it. It could have been good but misses the mark on every level.

Utter rubbish and a couple of hours of my life wasted. Also paints a terrible picture of Essex!

Just don't bother.

Surely this is a parody, if so it gets a 2 for its comedy value, if not and this is serious then it's possibly one of the worst films ever made. At least Football Factory and it's like had some redeeming qualities but this is shockingly bad. OK maybe I should have given it a 3 for the background music .

Four thuggish small time Essex drug dealers are murdered whilst sitting in their car.

This low level gang crime spawns the longest running series of movies in the gangster genre history. They were in their 30s. The actors playing them are now in their 50s. 'Actors' needs a broad interpretation in their case. This latest roll of the dice is a parody. The first film had a certain visceral attractiveness. This has none. It makes an episode of Eastenders seem like a blockbuster.

A prequel, released 15 years after the original. However it has the same people, playing the same characters and that sets out how confusing it is to understand the timeframe and from there it just gets worse as the story unfolds changing storylines from other films in the series.

I don't even know where to start, confused storyline, unbelievably poor acting, clothing not matching the era, dreadful dialogue, Police interviewing two villains. In the same interview, it's just awful. The only 3 good things, were the two comedy wigs and the Ford Cosworth, other than that there are no saving graces.
