Manookian delivers a remarkable performance as the coked-fuelled dealer, hitting the fine line between desperate, sleazy, and wildness and achieving what should be implausible; making Rolfe almost sympathetic. One of the most interesting is the new commentary done for the cut with Julian Gilbey and Terry Stone which gives an insight into what has changed between versions and lots of reminiscing of the making of the film. All Tony wants is to make it back in time to support his best friend Nigel Benn at the boxing match of his life.It is three decades of his life following him from football hooliganism, through to his burgeoning career as a bouncer, his involvement in the criminal aspects of the early 'rave' scene and subsequently to his rise to power as one of the most feared and respected criminals in the country. Though portraying the two men as aggressive and arrogant they still manage to show a believable element of intelligence with realisations that they see they need to get out of the situations they have put themselves in and at least attempt to get out before it’s too late, though even they are hard to like. Gangster movies always seem to be popular, whether it be the American style film like The Godfather, Goodfellas or Scarface that almost romanticise the world of organised crime, or the British style which its emphasis on the cheeky “cockney” feel with a reliance on heavy levels of violence or then there is the style that takes the route of the football hooligan led into the world of organised crime as an extension of the violent world they live in. Now 5 years since it's release revisit the terraces of the east end with the new Limited Extreme Extended Edition Steelbook, featuring over 20 minutes of all new extreme footage and an all new commentary and interview with visionary Director Julian Gilbey. After a one-sentence overview, the review concludes that "Leach is then unceremoniously swept aside as the film hastily attempts to give the Rettendon murders a once-over in the scrappy second half.

As of now, it is has not been confirmed whether Vengeance is intended to be the final film in the series.This is shown by the fact that not only Rise of the Footsoldier but also Essex Boys(2000), and soon to be released The Fall of the Essex Boys use the events as a basis for their plot.

I will admit to liking it, but especially in this extreme edition it does rely on violence a little too much which damages its impact to some degree, the characters can be a little bit too one dimensional at times and as mentioned this tends to make scenes less effective. Rise Of The Footsoldier Origins: The story behind cult Essex films spawned by notorious triple gangland murder". RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER started back in 2007 when violence was taken to a new level and it all got very messy over a pizza, in Now in 2021 RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER: ORIGINS mixed brutality with style. Things get even worse when he meets notorious hard man Pat Tate and local drug dealer Craig Rolfe, culminating in the Rettendon Range Rover murders of 1995. These are roles that are typical for them, especially Billy Murray who with a role in Essex Boys has quite a pedigree when it comes to this tale.No one will claim the film is progressive in female representation, but this ROTF is more restrained in the sexualisation of, and violence against women onscreen.

Nick Nevern taking the helm of this latest Footsoldier instalment can be seen as a serious move into Johnson territory, and along with Andrew Loveday, responsible for injecting some much needed style and cinematic know-how into the film. The murder of the Essex Boys, or as it’s also know the Range Rover murders is a story that seems to intrigue film makers, especially in the United Kingdom. Especially in this Extreme Extended Edition we are given a version of events that is high on the violence quota, high on the drugs and high on the sex. Rise of the Footsoldier is a film that I always find to be hit and miss, it does fit into that typical British Gangster movie genre and has a story to tell which is both interesting and entertaining, if also disturbing.An ending with its own built-in marketing tie-ins, the production has learnt what works well for Hollywood serialisations and effectively appropriated these stylisations into a British context, ensuring the film maixmises both homegrown and global appeal. The story itself has been presented and re-presented so many times on film, it rivals only the Kray twins in inspiring and shaping the identity of the British gangster film. If I was to say that Rise of the Footsoldieris quite an obnoxious film it would probably sound negative but in truth it’s not.
