Went to see this last night at my local odeon which was very busy, in fact the screening for Rise of the Footsoldier Origins was completely full from what i could see. Iv'e never seen a Footsoldier film in the theatre so this was a first.

This will be a short to the point review.

I went in with low expectations for this one as i feel the last few footsoldier movies were lackluster and on a decline. Don't get me wrong the previous films were fun and had their moments but they tend to be forgetable compared to the first film which is a absolute classic in UK cult cinema. In a nutshell this is not he case here, this is the second best footsoldier film without a doubt.

This movie feels like it deserves to be watched on the big screen.

The 80s setting and soundtrack is well executed and everything felt like it moved at the right pace. No complaints here!

The cast is fantastic across the board, i can't think of one weak link.

Terry Stone and Roland Manookian are a very funny double act as Tony tucker and Craig Rolfe. There were many laugh out loud moments which were appreciated in a packed odeon theatre.

Vinnie Jones was great in it to.

All in all this movie saved the franchise from dieing and topped the previous sequels.

If your a fan of a good raw Brit flick then this one does not disappoint… the first 15 minutes of the film will leave you switched on or switched off. (Violent, cuts no corners and shows you what your in for, certainly sets the mood for the whole movie) hard hitting, raw to the core violent gritty Brit flick that packs a punch. I have been waiting for a new good Brit flick to come along for a while now… If your a fan of British flicks then you'll recognise a few actors along side Dyer and I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie. Solid 9 for me.

Always feel that Brit flicks get tough reviews these days but i see this one picking up the pace a bit more with regards to ratings.

I'll keep this short and brief. It's very funny and does not deserve these 1 star review I'm seeing here. Thats ridiculous and blatant sabotage against the idea of the movie and probably the whole series. If your a horror fan you will get all the jokes which in this one refers to Evil Dead, Paranormal Activity and few more references to other big films like year such as Black Swan, Planet Of The Apes etc.

Very funny from start to finish, was surprised to see Mac Miller and Snoop do their part near the beginning and end... was funny. Charlie Sheen is only in this movie at the very start not throughout the rest. All in all it should definitely give you a good giggle on a regular basis... the series of Scary Movie is still alive and funny.
