About this deal

Synopsis: The rise of ruthless Essex gangster Pat Tate, who blazes a path from Marbella to the Medway in the late 80s, peddling pills and snorting coke and crushing anyone who gets in his way, in his quest for cash and power. Double- crossed by an ex-pat drug baron, Tate ends up in prison. Undeterred, he establishes himself as top dog inside, and gets himself in shape in preparation for his release - when he plans to reclaim his turf the only way he knows how - with violence, and no mercy.

The new Extreme Edition also comes with special features including interviews with the director and Carlton Leach. One of the most interesting is the new commentary done for the cut with Julian Gilbey and Terry Stone which gives an insight into what has changed between versions and lots of reminiscing of the making of the film. For people interested into film making Gilbey talks quite in depth about how he re-edited the new cut to improve the action scenes.Campbell, Laura (5 April 2016).

The British gangster movie Rise of the Footsoldier from 2007 was released in a Extreme Extended Cut on Blu-ray in 2012. The theatrical cut is available on DVD in the States and Britain but the extended cut is only available on Blu-ray in the UK. Director Julian Gilbey says the following in the commentary on the extended cut on Blu-ray: Rise of the Footsoldier is a film that I always find to be hit and miss, it does fit into that typical British Gangster movie genre and has a story to tell which is both interesting and entertaining, if also disturbing. As Julian Gilbey says in his interview included in the special features it’s not a film for everybody but it’s one that does have its role to play in both his filmography and the genre it’s based in. I will admit to liking it, but especially in this extreme edition it does rely on violence a little too much which damages its impact to some degree, the characters can be a little bit too one dimensional at times and as mentioned this tends to make scenes less effective. If anything it can still sit with the likes of The Football Factory and Essex Boys as a more gritty style of gangster/hooliganism film and arguably one of the better ones. Chambers, Catherine (2 September 2007). "Rise of the Footsoldier". BBC Online . Retrieved 18 September 2014. This or That Edition helps its readers to know what edition of the film the director intended their viewers to see. If I was to say that Rise of the Footsoldieris quite an obnoxious film it would probably sound negative but in truth it’s not. Especially in this Extreme Extended Edition we are given a version of events that is high on the violence quota, high on the drugs and high on the sex. Watching the interview with director and co-writer Julian Gilbey you understand that this was the point he was trying to bring across though, that we see the events from the perspective of people who weren’t nice, these are not anti-heroes, they are often psychotic, violent and many times their actions are fuelled by heavy drug use in the form of not only the likes of cocaine but steroids. It’s an in your face style where these people don’t care what anybody thinks of them they take what they want and if they don’t get it people will end up either badly beaten or dead. The very nature of the story makes it believable that this was what led to the violence that befell the Essex Boys in the end, as the saying goes “you reap what you sow”. It should be noted of course that this is only one interpretation of the events, it is in the end a fictional account.
