An all-out bare-knuckle prequel to the iconic Brit crime thriller Rise Of The Footsoldier. Starring the original loveable-rogues Craig Fairbrass and Terry Stone and a British dream-team ensemble, in a brutal and bloody real-life story of Essex, drugs and rock and roll.
Rise of the Footsoldier 3 – Still
On the 10th anniversary of the release of the smash hit gangster classic Rise Of The Footsoldier comes this no-holds-barred prequel, telling the tale of real-life Essex Boy Pat Tate, a man mountain with a hair-trigger temper, a serious fondness for pills and cocaine, and an unquenchable hunger for power. The Scarface of Southend is a role Craig Fairbrass was born to play, and he grips the role between his teeth and does not let go. It’s a towering performance that cements Fairbrass’s reputation as a screen hard man of the top rank.
