Since I’m currently on Odeon’s Limitless, and it’s quite easy to find 2 or 3 films to watch on a weekend afternoon, this slotted in nicely inbetween A Haunting In Venice and Bolan’s Shoes, so it’s worth a punt… and that’s NOT a rude word as used by Mr Fairbrass in the clip below! But… with that clip I was completely sold on this, and for almost two hours, it did not disappoint!

And who would've thought that the most macho franchise in British cinema would dip its toe — probably more of a toenail — into exploring queer identity and 90's drag culture? Vengeance is not a treatise on queer identity, but it's a nice inclusion amongst the shotguns, stabbings and liberal use of the c-word nonetheless. I see the first film was released in cinemas, but most of the others since have been for home release only, until the 2021 movie, Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins, which saw it return to the big screen. And why not, given that it’s a British movie, and there’s so much American guff coming to the screens lately, that it’s time for some home-grown talent. And then there's an actual "training Montage" that I like: Carlton is taking steroids and working out to increase bulk and the scenes are interspersed with his gangland enforcing work. I am really liking this film. It's low-budget but not pretending to be anything other than what it is. Jay Rayner talks a lot about a food tasting of the "essence" of itself and I see the analogy working here. Gritten, David (7 September 2007). "Rise of the Footsoldier". Telegraph Online . Retrieved 18 September 2014. Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance is the sixth film in a franchise of which I’ve been aware, but never seen before.
