À propos de ce film

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, his arrival brings them to the attention of social services. With the danger of being put into care looming, Dean forces his Dad to stay by threatening to grass him up for dealing. Bill soon connects with Jimmy and through this new bond starts to realize what he's been missing. He has a family and a place in the world, but when Jimmy gets into trouble with Bill's old cohorts, he quickly has to decide what kind of Dad he wants to be. A good one, or a free one.

Notes et avis

I was expecting a mockney geyser film but this was pretty good, has a good heart and sense of humour. Not just another lock stock clone!

I was completely surprised by this film. Dedicated to Fletchers dad you can feel the family values entwined with a proper hard nut movie. It not as comic book as a Guy Ritchie film but it goes much further than anything I have seen of Ritchie's. Charlie Creed-Miles plays a great character in Bill, an ex con who realises how much he loves being a dad. Also enjoyed Will Poulters portrayal of Bill's unforgiving son. All in all a cracking film and success for British Cinema.

Great acting from all bar one, not the pub... Just one of the actors ain't convincing. You'll know who I mean when you watch it. However strong story, great cast and one I could watch over and over again. Especially 'the fight'.
