What's the Story?

VENGEANCE: RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER follows hardened criminal Pat Tate (Craig Fairbrass) as he attempts to avenge the death of his friend, Kenny (Josh Myers).

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (2 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

This sixth installment of the long-running British action movie franchise attempts to strike a balance between delivering crowd-pleasing moments and throwing in a few surprises. Vengeance: Rise of the Footsoldier's fearsome central character Pat Tate might not be required to do much more than navigate a series of confrontations that typically spiral into bloody violence. But as lead actor Fairbrass showed in more left field fare such as Muscle, he's capable of both filling the frame and bringing a steady menace to roles that lesser actors would simply bark and snarl their way through. The addition of evasive boxer and drag queen Billy, played by Ben Wilson, eventually gives Tate an unorthodox sparring partner.

The script is hampered by a few necessary but clunky concessions, with most of the dialogue exposition-heavy to fill in the gaps for anyone who hasn't seen the previous Rise of the Footsoldier movies and hurry us along toward the action sequences. Still, the makers clearly know their audience and this formula endures for a reason. For those willing to be patient and not worry too much about the fleeting details about who's killing who and why, Tate's rampage culminates in a final showdown in a red-light drenched strip club, with guns firing in all directions, bringing to mind the finale of many a John Wick movie, albeit on a budget.
