Out on parole 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. Unwilling to play Dad, an uncaring Bill is determined to move on. Although Dean the older boy has found a job and is doing his best to be a father to his younger brother Jimmy, 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 feckless Dad to stay by threatening to grass him up for dealing. If there’s one thing Bill doesn’t want it’s to go back to prison. He reluctantly agrees to stay for a week to help fool social services that the boys are being cared for. Having never really grown up himself Bill quickly connects with Jimmy and through his new bond starts to realise what he’s been missing. He has a family, a place in the world. He is a father. However, their happy family set up is short lived when Jimmy gets into trouble with Bill’s dangerous old cohorts. To sort it out will breach the terms of Bill’s license and risk sending him back to jail. Bill must now prove to his boys what sort of a Dad he wants to be, a good one, or a free one.

The English never cease to surprise me. Sometimes they can make a great comedy, other times a silly one; sometimes a funny drama, other times something absolutely perfect. "Wild Bill" is a great drama, presented in such a way that you don't even feel like it's a drama. This is mainly thanks to the "hero," who is the titular Wild Bill. He returns from prison to take care of his two sons. The older one, who is 16, supports the younger one. They no longer have a mother, she passed away. The older one cannot forgive his father and refuses him. He makes it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with him. But Bill is quite stubborn. At first glance, he seems to have it all together, one could even say he's pretty laid back. The appearance is deceptive. He's a tough guy who knows how to show others their place. The sons have gotten themselves into trouble, as both of them have their own problems. The younger one gets involved with mobsters, while the older one is involved "only" with love. Both problems can be solved and eventually resolved. Although the film actually ends quite well, it is a great and rather dark exploration into the lives of British workers and their families, who very often find themselves on the edge of the law, if not behind it. The film is characterized by almost civilian acting performances, which are incredibly believable, especially with regards to the sixteen-year-old son. His actor, Will Poulter, wasn't much older himself. Although the film lacks humor, it still manages to maintain a level that is very pleasant to watch. Also, Andy Serkis' small role is delightful.
