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
