Watch Wild Bill For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Such a frustrating disappointment

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I watched this movie yesterday and wow, what a gem of a movie. I had never heard of the movie before but it popped up on my screen on Netflix and after reading the synopsis I thought, to give it a try. I have a habit to start watching a movie and the moment it becomes retarded, depressing or insults my intelligence in some fashion it's usually over and I do not bother to watch till the end. I actually was expecting this to happen on this movie because the subject seemed to be depressing but to my surprise the movie just gripped me and held me in my seat until the end. Today I was still thinking about the movie and how great and uplifting it was to watch. Congratulations, well done for this great movie.

Actor Dexter Fletcher turns to directing and armed with a small budget he seems he has turned to some friends such as Sean Pertwee, Andy Serkis and Olivia Williams to make cameos who appear for a scene or two in the film.The main performances are from Charlie Creed-Miles who is Wild Bill, and his two sons played by Will Poulter and Sammy Williams. Creed-Miles plays a man released from a eight years stretch under licence and finds out that his two young children living alone for the last nine months as their mother has hopped it to Spain.In order for them not to be taken into care he has to be a father to them and gain there respect as he had had no presence in their lives due to his stint in jail.Poulter who is better known though the Narnia films and We're the Millers gives the best performance as a 15 year old who has to work in a building site and fend for his younger sibling. He is matched by Creed- Miles who has to take responsibility maybe for the first time in his life whilst try to keep in the straight and narrow by avoiding the low life who want him to go back to drug dealing and deal with the trouble his youngest son has got himself into.The film is set in Stratford in the shadow of the London Olympic Stadium, its setting is a year before the 2012 Olympics. It does have a very cliché looking urban tower block London setting. It kinds of reminds you of all those Death Wish type films of the 1970s set in New York where you have muggers, drug dealers and rapists in every corner, far outnumbering just ordinary people getting on with their lives. What is worse you have some white people speaking black patois which is very irritating.It is low budget movie making, the film has heart, a very good staged fight scene set in a pub and apart from a paper plane flying scene very little cinematic flair, it could be something British directors such as Alan Clarke could had knocked out rather easily 30 years ago for Play for Today.

After 8 years inside Bill Hayward returns home to find his now 11 and 15 year old sons abandoned by their mother and fending for themselves. Dean the older boy has found a job and is doing his best to bring up his younger brother Jimmy, but the arrival of Bill has brought them to the attention of social services. With the danger of being put into care looming, Dean forces his Dad to stay by threatening to grass him up for dealing. He agrees to stay for a week to fool social services that the boys are being cared for. Bill quickly connects with Jimmy and through this new bond starts to realise what he's been missing. He has a family, he is a father. However, their happy family is short lived when Jimmy gets into trouble with Bill's old cohorts....You would be forgiven, if you thought this was just another one of those kitchen sink type London dramas that arrived ten a penny after the arrival of one Guy Ritchie.And while this has similarities to many of those films, thanks to Fletchers great direction, and the genius portrayal of the titular character by Miles, this is one of those rare cases where a British film about a criminal trying to go straight, despite his past catching up with him, is very, very good.It helps too that the chemistry between the screen family is solid, and it's pretty believable. Apart from the typecast white guy who thinks he is of a different ethnicity, its very believable, the villains are to your typical wide boys, and it's very funny and sweet in places.It's a shame that it does carry the burden of an atypical Brit crime flick, but it's a very powerful family drama, that carries emotional depth, and a very funny streak throughout.Recommended.

this guys can do everything it seems!! not only did he do sterling work in the Harry Brown film but here he takes centre stage and owns it! Charlie has been a musician amidst his acting career and is also in a band called NORTH OF PING PONG which won the peoples music awards in 2010. They were fortunate to have Adam Smith direct their first two hits "What goes up must come down" and 'Lairy Bitch Project' which featured Cathy Burke and many other famous English actors and actresses. The first album has been in the making for some time so as to develop their sound to encorporate other influences, such as Latin. The Album is due to release end of November 2012.. and they are performing for first time since this WILD BILL film at SWERVED 19 October http://www.facebook.com/events/435892143119493/
