Review

Jack Seale

What happens after the end of Oliver Twist? Set 15 years later, this energetic re-imagining sees Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), formerly known as the Artful Dodger, becoming a surgeon in an Australian penal colony — but a gambling debt threatens catastrophe.

Enter Fagin (David Thewlis) on a prison ship, to reignite their partnership and set in train a pacy plot full of blackmail, jewel theft, close escapes and, underneath it all, a halting romance between Jack and governor’s daughter Belle (Maia Mitchell).
An escapist romp with a clever head on its shoulders.
