“Oh Dexter Fletcher! How I have your name engraved in my mind for all eternity from when I was a little boy watching u0026#39;Press Gangu0026#39;. An iconic name for those of my generation and British acting. He managed to appear in many a film but never a leading man but now tries his hand at directing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think Mr Fletcher may have found his way of breaking out by stepping behind the camera. What we have here is a very well written and directed film debut about a man who is released from prison and finds himself looking after his 2 sons whose mother has abandoned them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt isnu0026#39;t an exciting film as this is a drama with some light humour thrown in. Itu0026#39;s quality British film making where we go and take a peak at something which is more than likely true to real life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany familiar fine British actors are recognisable in this film and Mr Fletcher no doubt had no trouble in bringing out their finest performances as Iu0026#39;m sure heu0026#39;s probably friends or familiar with them. This makes viewing the film as if watching real life. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, if you want to take break and watch something engaging then do so by watching Wild Bill. The performances are great (Will Poulter will be a star one day), the story is realistic and gritty and the direction for a first timer is spot on. This isnu0026#39;t the type of film youu0026#39;ll watch repeatedly but the type youu0026#39;ll be glad that youu0026#39;ve seen the once.”
