Various Artists - Rise Of The Footsoldier (DVD)

Very violent film even by modern-day standards; it makes even Stanley Kubrick's classic A Clockwork Orange seem like a travel brochure! The story, based on fact and spread over some thirty years, is of the life and times of soccer hooligan Carlton Leach (Ricci Harnett.) Carlton lives by - the three F's - the other two being Football and Fighting.

As a younger man, Carlton is a "footsoldier" member of the ICF - the Inner City Firm - a notorious gang of London's Essex area in the late eighties and early nineties. He later graduated to become a nightclub bouncer, before getting himself involved with drug smuggling and a heavy descent into a career of crime.

Acting, photography and sound are adequate, though this one is definitely aimed at those who enjoy their action and violence in the extreme.

Action drama offering a gritty portrayal of the life of Carlton Leach (Ricci Harnett), football hooligan, whose innate ferocity propels him into an escalating life of serious crime. Over the course of three decades, Leach 'progresses' from attack-dog hooligan to nightclub bouncer, before becoming involved with the ever-expanding drug scene - his passport into the criminal elite.
