Jamie Bell stars as a young man having trouble coping with his mother's death in Mister Foe (Magnolia Pictures)

If you remember Jamie Bell as the charming kid who suffered abuse for wanting to be a ballet dancer in Billy Elliott, then you may be surprised by the character he plays in his latest film, Mister Foe (opened September 19 at Landmark's Hillcrest Cinemas).
