Rise of the Footsoldier: The Heist

I seriously enjoyed this! Not exactly oscar winning but certainly is entertaining!

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 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.

If the Marvel franchise made a film about the eponymous Pate Tate, this would be it. As mildly entertaining as it was there is not a single morsel based in fact. They portrayed Tony Tucker, a sociopathic, mindless nutter as a giggling buffoon and Craig Rolfe as his sidekick/punchline. With themes stolen from 'The Business' the film's only saving grace is Craig Fairbrass's brutal portrayal of a truly evil and narcissistic individual who had no regard for anyone or anything. In conclusion it's worth a watch but it's more a comedy than a serious biographical endeavour

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.
