Lock, stock and two resentful sons


Wild Bill (2011)

Directed by Dexter Fletcher this film stars Charlie Creed-Miles, Will Poulter and Liz White. After 8 years in prison a father returns home to find his 15 and 11 year old sons have been abandoned by their mother and resent his absence.

You may have thought the British gangster film genre was over but there is still life in there as this film shows. While there might not be anything revolutionary about the plot of this film it is well executed even if the plot resolution is a little easy. One thing I would have like to have seen more of was the relationship between the older son and the father as the relationship with the younger son dominated the plot.

3/5
