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. Akinbola, Daniel (14 September 2023). "Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance (Film Review)". Filmhounds . Retrieved 19 September 2023. 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 EntertainmentWho’d have bet, fifteen years after the release of Rise of the Footsolider, there would be a cinema release for a fifth film in the franchise... I am usually not one for the east end, London based, geezer type movie. Most of the actors in the movie would make me close the curtains if they were performing Rise of the Footsoldier Vengence 2 at the bottom of my garden. However I decided to give this a try. And was pleasantly surprised. a b "Winners at the 4th annual National Film Awards UK 2019". National Film Awards . Retrieved 29 March 2018.
