Rise of the Footsoldier: The Heist

There is a hersay about the brits that they are..........! and this film really shows the cruel side of it. its as you may expect, coke, lots of f-words, and c-words, a whole lot of beating stabbing and shooting, stealing ,cheating and messing around. and in marbella, there are of course no policia/bobbies or bills around, not even a siren, just nice big houses with big bath tubs and of course some british crooks.

i think that even a nitwit can understand that this cant be a reflection of true events. but there are some funny sideshow of bipolar origin that goes tandem with the bad attitude, and if it hadnt been for these moments i would have walked out of the aula.

its the rise of the footsoldier, the grumpy old man understands that, but the mix of gaelic and keltish rumblethumb like king rollo on a high are just good enough for a five.a dig for the blood and gore fan...

This movie feels different in the best way. It's not polished or over-the-top, but that's what makes it stand out. The action is raw and feels like it has weight-every hit, every moment feels earned. But what really pulls you in is the story. It's about more than just the fights; it's about what those fights mean. The stakes feel personal, and you find yourself caring about the characters, even when they're not perfect. It's a gritty, emotional ride that keeps you hooked all the way through. This is the kind of movie that proves you don't need a big budget to make something amazing. Watch it yeah.

I rated this movie a 5. It won't test your grey matter, in fact, your brain isn't necessary for this movie. It's got a very simple and easy to understand plot, lots of heavy duty swearing, and lots of gratuitous violence. Having said all that, it was a very easy film to watch and it moves along at a reasonable pace. It's never boring and if you're looking for a movie with cockney villains running around Marbella hitting people, being nasty, nefarious and downright criminal You'll really enjoy this film. I've seen all the Footsoldier movies and this is not the worst one at all. It won't rock your world of be life changing, but it's not as bad as some of the 1* reviews would suggest. It would have been nice to see a bit more of Marbella, but this movie isn't trying to win any awards for cinematography! A 5* is about right, not bad, not brilliant.

This latest film is full of stupid mistakes. "Essex is running out of pills", apparently, so Pat Tate follows a lead to a decent supply in Spain, hoping to take revenge on those who were involved in his ending up in prison in the last film while he's there. Shortly after arriving in Spain, Pat goes to Frank Harris's house to confront him, only to find out someone else has been living there for two years and asks her to call him a taxi! He does a bit of networking and gets a bodyguard gig to pay towards a cut of a drug shipment, but has to call Tweedledum and Tweedledee over from the UK with some more dosh. But between them, Tony and Craig manage to book the wrong flight and lose their money. Just a couple of examples.

I only really wanted to watch this as I wanted to see Conor Benn portraying his dad. I mean hey I even rented the movie and didn't stream it. It wasn't the worse movie I just know that if it does half well they will keep making more.. I'm sure they can't have done THAT much after the murders? Terry Stones character is getting silly now.

I don't understand how at the end of the film they go through the effort of getting an old police car for the scene outside the club for whatever year it was meant to be, but the scene in Amsterdam they were just completely lazy and didn't care about their surroundings.

Scenes in Marbella shot very well I must say but I think the story needs to end now!
