Watched this movie knowing nothing about it, and with the name wild bill, though it was one of those silly lets kill everyone movies, but i was absolutely engrossed by this movie from the first 5 mins, great storyline, and great acting, and being from this part of London myself, it catches the essence of life in the London ghetto life, and towards the end of the movie you really feel for the lead character and find yourself getting chocked up for the guy.
8 out of 10 from me, and i'm normally a hard critic of English films as there been so much rubbish in the last few years coming out of england.
I'm fully intent to watch this film again, and this time take my wife so she can see what i was raving about to her about this film.
Charlie Creed-Miles and Will Poulter have given me faith in English films again...
