Rating: 3/5 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- A peculiar but decidedly ordinary addition to the British thug genre. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Gore-flecked rucks and bruising rumbles are the order of the day in this unflinching portrait of a demi-monde your really rather wish would stay that way. Full Review

Rating: 1/6 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- 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. Full Review

Product Description:

The story of Carlton Leach is soaked in blood. This ultra-violent tale is the stuff that has become the backdrop for countless stylized movies about organized crime in England and is based on the life of the man who became involved in one of the country's most notorious gang-slayings. From alcohol-soaked soccer riots to the murder-for-money lifestyle Leach became a part of, this is a story about the culture of violence that plagues British life and sometimes moves into a realm of brutality beyond the darkest crevices of the imagination.
