Review of Rise of the Footsoldier 3

I don't know why I do it to myself, moreover I don't know why so many British actors that I half like keep turning up in this turgid nonsense. Undoubtedly there was, with the Essex shootings of three low level drug dealers a story to be told, this has been done with the first instalment and Essex Dogs. This rehash of the same old ground told from Pat's perspective is unsympathetic, patchwork story telling stealing ideas from The Business and it's own first two instalments. Dialogue that Danny Dyer would baulk at having to deliver and more cliches per minute than Premier League commentary. If Billy Murray is plotting a fourth instalment from Craig or Tommy's perspective it'll transform a snapshot of Britain's seedy gangster underbelly in to Soap Opera, I don't doubt that this guff makes money but, it's been done. Leave it alone. Now a half decent film about the 80s London firm.........that'd be a film worth making.
