About this movie

Home Premiere. Lock, Stock and Snatch superstar Vinnie Jones teams up with premiere acting veteran Keith Allen (Kingsman, Shallow Grave) for British true crime thriller RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER: ORIGINS. A brutal account of how real-life, hard-as-nails Falklands War veteran Tony Tucker (Terry Stone) came to be involved in one of the most notorious gangland murders in British history. RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER: ORIGINS is a must-see for anyone after an authentic crime biopic that hits like a knuckle-duster polished to a high shine. This is Blow, Essex style, and it will knock your socks off. Set against a superbly realised backdrop of the late 80s rave scene, with a pulsing soundtrack featuring the likes of New Order and Ultravox. A future Brit gangster classic that gives the likes of Layer Cake, The Gentlemen and Legend a run for their money.

I thought this was decent effort if you don’t take it to seriously, the introduction of Vinnie Jones was good. Usual storyline that we have all seen before, but it worked.

Not the best in the footsoldier series but still a good movie made me laugh the only snag I have is they should of cast younger versions of themselves that's it.And It's good to see Mr vinnie Jones back on the big screen again:)

Comedy gold. Let's see how many times we can say the word "c*nt" in one film. Brilliant
