I have watched recently

Rise of the footsoldier http://www.riseofthefootsoldier.co.uk/

Now I am a big fan of the footy hooligan films .. ID (will always be the best imo) , Green Street, Football Factory and who remembers "The Firm", a late 80's TV film with Gary Oldman that was quality too ... 

Anyway, Rise of the footsoldier ... charts the rise up the criminal underworld ladder of Carlton Leach from one of the main boys of the ICF to a big player in a feared london underworld gang in the late 80's.  It is based on a true story.

It is scarily violent, sickeningly so at times... yet compulsive viewing.  Although you cannot seriously take to any of the characters in the film, you cant help but want to know the outcome. The film plays heavily on the Range rover killing at Rettendon in Essex.

It certainly isnt a chick flick, but its certainly one to get on the box if the Mrs is having a girly night out with her mates... Good Film.




Second one was "Daylight Robbery" http://www.daylightrobberymovie.com/

British robbery film ... story has been done to death, think italian job, etc etc   story centres around a bank job during the world cup ... a group of lads check in at the airport, then sod off to rob a bank and get back to the airport and go to Germany to watch england in the world cup.

I thoroughly enjoyed it ... had a few twists and turns but was very predictable ... if you are a fan of gritty british gangster/bank job films ... get these 2 films watched ... you wont be disappointed

enjoyed Rise of the Footsoldier although i think the lead role could have been cast better.

both sound interesting - u watch them online kev?

Me and Ling watched Daylight Robbery not too long ago. We thought the film was a joke!

Yeah, im too tight to go pictures :)  Jane takes liberties with the pick 'n Mix

where?

normally in the foyer near the popcorn

can't find it, can see the juice machine though

literally LOL'd at desk!

Yeah but what do I know ... I watched Hot Fuzz as well the other day and totally loved it.

Thats quality.

Have only seen it in adverts, but know of the story around the characters, especially the range rover stuff.
Is this just a remake of essex boys?

i'd like to see kidulthood but cant find it anywhere...would like to see it before watching adulthood

try youtube Stally

Thats what I was thinking..

LOL watch it ... essex boys it aint !

Have you seen Made in England Kev?

yeah ... love all those types of film.

Anyone taken my advice and watched "Rise of the footsoldier" yet then ?

Kev

Cass is released August 1st - part of the life story of Cass Pennant one time leader/founder of the ICF.  An incredibly interesting character, hope the fiction lives upto the fact, could be some film.
Check out some of Cass's writing would imagine some of it would interest you - 'Congratulations you have just met the ICF' is a brilliantly written book.

Yeah, I watched it. Didn't think much of the cast but the film was interesting enough.

will check that out ... I read "The Football Factory" By John King, a long time before i saw the film ... great book.
he wrote a couple of others in a kind of FF Trilogy, the others being "Headhunters" and "England away" i havent read those yet, but i must get around to it.

cheers for the heads up about cass.

i love these type of folms just as long as no americans are involved, I nearly went on a rampage at the end of green streets, it was spoiled by the americen esque  style last few scenes with the woman getting out of the car, this is a hardened woman she could just get back in and reverse but no the bloke has to let himself get killed..so fucking american

FFS Red gets everywhere, ust watched the opening scenes of Riseofthefootsoldiers and there he is in full glory.

lol, excellent

good movie watched the other day was felon not a big hollywood film but 1 of the better films seen this year.  got stephen dorff and val kilmer in. about a guy who gets sent to prison for killing some 1 trying to rob his house and all the shit he has to do in prison to stay alive.

American History X?

That doesn't sound like American History X to me Rooks, just think Kerb....

Just read the post again... didn't spot the title Felon.  ::)

"Put your teeth on the kerb!"

What a fkin idiot, like you would just do it. I would rather run and be shot than that!!

+1

Very very good film though

Not too impressed with Lost Boys 2 The Tribe. Actaully didn't even bother watching it all the way.

Enjoyed RiseofTheFootsoldiers.

Enjoyed also Run Fat Boy Run. Great humour in that one.

once were warriors ftw

Great if somewhat depressing film,do not watch the sequel as it's rubbish

Watched this tonight (and another film so bad I won't mention the name)  pretty violent but never the less a good film.

Counting the days till release
