A football hooligan with a taste for violence becomes one of England's most notorious criminals in "Rise of the Footsoldier" (2007). Ricci Harnett gives a disturbing performance in this dark portrait of Carlton Leach, the 1970s athlete-turned-criminal who, after being expelled from the sport of football for a series of fights, puts his belligerence to use as a career criminal, rising to the rank of Britain's most feared gangster and drug lord. Julian Gilbey directs this ultraviolent, true-life crime drama.
