Weakest of the first three. 'Rise of the Footsoldier 3' doesn't work. It's one that is all about Pat Tate and fills in the blanks of that character's history. In my opinion, it's flat throughout. There's a few decent scenes, but they are too far apart to have any effect. This plot would've been better as a short story, or as part of an anthology film. There's not enough there for a full blown film. Craig Fairbrass is OK in the lead role, not good or bad. I do appreciate the returns of the likes of Terry Stone and Roland Manookian, while the addition of Jamie Foreman is alright. There's a few interesting minor appearances, including from Larry Lamb, Shaun Ryder and Paddy Doherty. However, all in all, I found myself bored pretty much from beginning to end. It's a slow 99 minutes.
