Review of Wild Bill (2011) by Panta O — 02 Aug 2012
This directorial debut of the English actor Dexter Fletcher is the most pleasant surprise this year.
The story of Bill Hayward (Charlie Creed-Miles), a prisoner of eight years out on parole, who is returning home, to find out that his wife has left and his 15 and 11 year old sons, Dean (Will Poulter) and Jimmy (Sammy Williams) were living alone - was a touching one. Not sweet touching, but bitterly touching! Dean, the older boy was managing to support his younger brother, but Bill has to stay when social services threatens to put the boys into care discovering that their mother is gone. A bond between Bill and Jimmy quickly develops, but is short-lived when Jimmy gets into some trouble with the drug dealers - old friends of Bill's...
This is a real life drama you can witness from a comfortable chair on a big screen - well written, well acted, well directed... check it out!
