Rise of the Footsoldier
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 1:32 am
Synopsis:
A football hooligan becomes a gangster's lieutenant.
Review:
The unknown cast of this flick delivers their lines in accents so painful, it sounds like a donkey braying into a megaphone for about 110 minutes and then fucking you in the ear after. There are some extremely violent moments, reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange but with none of the substance of that flick.
Anyhoo, the plot follows one particular douchebag who goes from hooligan to club bouncer to hired gang muscle to drug dealer security. Two-thirds of the way through, things abruptly switch over to his buddies who are busy trying to pay off the local loan sharks. I think I watched it more for the linguistic refresher than anything else because every single character deserves a bullet to the head.
Verdict:
I can't see how this flick is worth watching even if you knew any of the dudes this story is allegedly based on.
