Ted B 3.5 stars; A wonderfully acted movie about the rehabilitation of a man released from prison back into the element that put him there in the first place. When he gets home, he finds his two sons, abandoned by their mother, living in that element. The story is about how he tries to reconnect with them and keep them out of the life that put him in prison. Charlie Creed-Miles was excellent in his portrayal of a character who went from derelict and aimless, to a social person on the right side of the law, and eventually to fatherhood. This is a British film that takes place in the Lower Side of London. So the accent is pretty heavy and you need to listen closely, and pick up on some of the slang terms as well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review Dionysis K What a great film, thoroughly enjoyed it, very moving with an edge to it. If you're from the east end of London you get it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Gritty unflinching movie loaded with dark humour.

Dexter Fletcher is cool though but man does this movie have a lot of bad moments. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Another review site summarizes the storyline in this movie best that I feel needs to be repeated, "This is a dysfunctional family that learns to function." Not a lovey-dovey, cutesy film at all. In fact, I had a hard time deciphering the cockneyed dialog but I toughed it out and didn't even use the closed captioning. I have to say the entire cast was great but I was very impressed with the role played by Charlie Creed-Miles as the father. He was exceptional in my opinion. Also, I could actually envision Tom Hardy playing this role. He would have been superb, I'm sure! But the sons played by Will Poulter as Dean, and Sammy Williams as Jimmy were awesome! I really got engrossed in this film. I am giving it a 4 star out of 5 only because I would have liked the writer(s) to have written in more interaction with the father and his kids and a concrete ending. The ending left me wondering if Wild Bill was going back to prison. Who knows? Another film left to one's imagination I guess! At least he was smiling at the end! I liked how Charlie played this character--his adaptation of a man who was imprisoned for 8 years and then is paroled. Mr. Cool in a quiet way! Dean his older son is 15 and Jimmy is 11 when he gets out. Now he's got play down--at first, reluctantly! Anyway, it was a great flick!
