Footsoldier doesn't so much pack a punch as leave you feeling violated and more importantly, robs you of two hours of your life you won't get back.

The direction smacks of sadism, especially the obvious glee Gilbey gets from filming violent scenes in close-up and, in the case of the bloody shotgun-to-the-face denouement, in triplicate.

A peculiar but decidedly ordinary addition to the British thug genre.

Ugly.

Fans of British geezer films would be better off checking out I.D. - this is best enjoyed after a night at the pub on DVD.

The filmmakers' wide-eyed attempt to turn Leach into a living legend will probably rattle Daily Mail readers' cages; everyone else may find its stonking hard-on for real-life hard men slightly ludicrous.

Nov 19, 2012A pretty good film, The half hour was the best for me and then it just kind of got very dark and pretty gruesome at times, I know it was based on true events so they couldn't really change it, Worth a watch if you like british gangster films.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Jun 04, 2012Nasty & risible in equal measure. That the director went on to make the superb "A Lonely Place To Die" is quite remarkable.Daniel P Super Reviewer

Mar 15, 2009It starts on the terraces of West Ham but moves on and charts the rise to power of Carlton Leach. The second half changes direction and we see Leach (wisely) take a back seat as the film marches on to The Land-Rover Murders of '95. The last half hour is a bit superfluous, but up until then it's a powerful and hard punching tale with smarts.Marcus W Super Reviewer
