Tediously self-satisfied at best, like a shady old bar bore holding you hostage.
January 17, 2013
An undeniably watchable criminal soap opera offering personal redemption.
January 16, 2013
It never really sparks to life, thanks to a repetitive script and a frustrating lack of characterisation.

[I]n this almost genteel film -- or as genteel as a film about men who intimidate and kill for a living can be -- [notorious Scottish gangster Paul] Ferris is a little boy lost, a rare man of principle in an urban cesspit.

It's all rather familiar, well enough acted yet not entirely convincing.
January 18, 2013
On the whole, The Wee Man is a fascinating story well told - the first steps in making a decent movie.
January 18, 2013
A clichéd, wearily familiar true-life crime drama clearly made on the cheap.

Blows any intrigue by piling on one gangster movie cliché after another.

As a whole, it's forgettable.

Manages to disappoint in every respect.
January 18, 2013
A crudely directed, typically unreliable gangster biopic, based on a memoir by Glaswegian hard man Paul Ferris.
February 07, 2013
The violent past of onetime Glasgow gangster Paul Ferris yields a banal biopic in "The Wee Man," returning multihyphenate Ray Burdis ("Love, Honor and Obey") to the director's chair after an absence of 13 years.
