Rise of the Footsoldier (2007)

Once-popular soccer player Carlton Leach (Ricci Harnett) realizes that his reputation is becoming tarnished. He’s been implicated in a number of violent brawls on the soccer field, prompting him to leave English soccer and pursue other interests. His main interest becomes his business: drugs. He self-incorporates, allowing him to create a flourishing and profitable business, and giving him a front for his own habitual drug use. Throughout the years, Harnett heads up the ladder to more and more dangerous drugs, and finds himself in situations that require more and more excessive violence and severe addiction. His business associates become tougher and more frightening to combat the dangerous criminals he does business with, but he’s not sure anything can protect him when a heroin shipment disappears and Turkish drug dealers put a price on his head.
