Wild Bill Reviews

Movie Reviews

• why can't all British crime dramas be so well written and well acted, and have a splash of comedy as confident as this?

  by Peter Bradshaw [Guardian [UK] ]

• there's plenty of heart elsewhere in the movie to keep us rooting for Bill and his boys

  by Trevor Johnston [Radio Times ]

• there's a wit and charm here that allows you to forgive some of the more obvious moments

  by Laurence Boyce [Little White Lies ]

• the picture tells a very familiar story with remarkable freshness and authenticity

  by Henry Fitzherbert [Daily Express ]

• the dialogue mostly rings true

  by Philip French [Observer [UK] ]

• slightly soggy in the middle, but still enjoyably warm and chewy

  by Robbie Collin [Daily Telegraph ]

• natural humour and nimbly sidesteps the cliches that saddle most council-estate crim-coms

  by Matt Mueller [Total Film ]

• much of the film's strength is down to the cast - Fletcher's old 'Press Gang' colleague Creed-Miles is wonderfully sympathetic in the lead role

  by Tom Huddleston [Time Out ]

• hugely enjoyable, emotionally engaging and frequently laugh-out-loud funny

  by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon ]

• as the title suggests, it all heads towards an inevitable showdown at the E15 corral

  by Elliott Noble [Sky Movies ]
