Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance (2023)
Bland
Unfortunately I did not enjoy as much as I expected by being a huge fan of this franchise. The story is bland, nothing out of the ordinary than Pat going on a rampage, and I did not recognise any characters returning which me personally would have loved to see. The character acting was great, Craig had a great perfomance nevertheless. In all honesty, it might not be required to see the previous movies of the franchise for this one, the story is basically revolving around him and his friend. Unfortunately, I did not realise the meaning of the hitman present hired by the loan shark first up, he did not appear later in the movie.
A Prayer Before Dawn (2017)
Not worth for the ticket
This movie was the worst I have watched, ever. Absolute regret for the price of the ticket.
The story line is unlogical: why did he got into jail (he got snitched out or what), meaningless cutscenes, what was written in the letter of the father (he hated him for what he have done or missed or what), why did he got emotional that the trans of the jail slept with another guy.. and finally: wasn't there any semi-final before the grand final? Why would anyone go back if they escaped from a jail? Oh, and the camera view was very irritating. I couldn't wait in the cinema until the movie finished.
Bonus: when Billy gone to the ring in the final, and before he walked through the cellars, at least 3 side actors looked directly in the camera.
Overall: 3 stars, but just because it was shot in a real jail.
Trust me: not worth it.
