'Wild Bill' an impressive debut for Fletcher

Actor Dexter Fletcher makes an assured directorial debut with a gritty tale of retribution and reconciliation, shot largely on the mean streets of east London.

While there may be dodgy geezers and explosions of graphic violence, not to mention some cheeky one-liners (“The usual: 10 pints, two grams and a punch-up?”), 'Wild Bill' isn’t another tepid crime caper in the mould of 'Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels'.
