Best Movies Like Rise of the Footsoldier
Growing up in the 80s and coming of age during the age of dance, xtc, casual sex and casual violence there are a few films that while obviously a lot more spectacular than my own experience can bring a certain nostalgia to a simpler time.
Rise of the Footsoldier is gritty and leads to a number of spin-offs each one less based in reality than the other. However some solid entertainment. Rise of the Footsoldier follows the rise of Carlton Leach from a football hooligan to turning into a member of a notorious gang of criminals who rampaged their way via London and Essex within the past due 1980s and early 1990s.
