"Rise of the Footsoldier". Telegraph Online . Retrieved 18 September 2014. The new Extreme Edition also comes with special features including interviews with the director and Carlton Leach. One of the most interesting is the new commentary done for the cut with Julian Gilbey and Terry Stone which gives an insight into what has changed between versions and lots of reminiscing of the making of the film. For people interested into film making Gilbey talks quite in depth about how he re-edited the new cut to improve the action scenes. Rise of the Footsoldier Part II: Reign of the General Box Office".

Especially in this Extreme Extended Edition we are given a version of events that is high on the violence quota, high on the drugs and high on the sex. Watching the interview with director and co-writer Julian Gilbey you understand that this was the point he was trying to bring across though, that we see the events from the perspective of people who weren’t nice, these are not anti-heroes, they are often psychotic, violent and many times their actions are fuelled by heavy drug use in the form of not only the likes of cocaine but steroids. It’s an in your face style where these people don’t care what anybody thinks of them they take what they want and if they don’t get it people will end up either badly beaten or dead. The very nature of the story makes it believable that this was what led to the violence that befell the Essex Boys in the end, as the saying goes “you reap what you sow”. It should be noted of course that this is only one interpretation of the events, it is in the end a fictional account. Rise of the Footsoldier is a film that I always find to be hit and miss, it does fit into that typical British Gangster movie genre and has a story to tell which is both interesting and entertaining, if also disturbing. As Julian Gilbey says in his interview included in the special features it’s not a film for everybody but it’s one that does have its role to play in both his filmography and the genre it’s based in. I will admit to liking it, but especially in this extreme edition it does rely on violence a little too much which damages its impact to some degree, the characters can be a little bit too one dimensional at times and as mentioned this tends to make scenes less effective. If anything it can still sit with the likes of The Football Factory and Essex Boys as a more gritty style of gangster/hooliganism film and arguably one of the better ones.Rise of the Footsoldier: Extreme Edition is a bloodier, more boob-filled re-release of the 2007 cult classic gangster movie Rise of the Footsoldier . Before the series drove off the side of a cliff into Fast and Furious territory, when Craig Fairbrass took over the series as a coked up anti-hero, Rise of the Footsoldier was about the gruesome true story of notorious Essex gangsters who met a grisly end in the mid 90's.

But the extremeness of this release doesn't bring any hidden gems or extended sequences that expand the story, just more the offcuts the BBFC probably thought were too violent at the time of release. There is a bit more sex, but it feels unnecessary and exploitative. Well more exploitative. The extra boobs aren't really used to show how large and out of control our characters were, but more to titillate the audience, which is fine (I am not here to kink shame), but it does lessen the impact of the overall story, especially in a low budget movie. It makes some scenes feel like soft-core porn. Signature Entertainment Akinbola, Daniel (14 September 2023). "Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance (Film Review)". Filmhounds . Retrieved 19 September 2023. Let's face it; Reservoir Dogs wasn't so much a movie about a diamond heist gone wrong as it was about a gang of actors that wanted to be Lee Marvin. Rise of the Footsoldier (Released 7th of September) is nothing more or less than a bunch of Scorsese fanatics who wished they'd been in Goodfellas – and be fair, who wouldn't? Rise of the Footsoldier: Extreme Edition is a lot of fun. It's loud, it's very crude and does have a few outstanding moments, especially for a low-budget British gangster film. But other than more Craig Fairbrass doing terrible things to people, the extra footage doesn't add all that much and in some ways lessens the impact of the tragedy that ultimately befalls those that live by the sword.
