The true-life story of Paul Ferris.
Leave your thoughts about The Wee Man.
| The SkinnyAlan BettAn undeniably watchable criminal soap opera offering personal redemption. |
| The ListHannah McGillThe script's struggle to flatter its unprepossessing vigilante protagonist (he's prone to coming out with poetic self-justifying speeches, too) is unconvincing, if not arguably irresponsible. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeOn the whole, The Wee Man is a fascinating story well told - the first steps in making a decent movie. |
| Metro (UK)Stephen CartyBut here, the various power-plays and shifting alliances feel like musical chairs, while [Ray] Burdis's attempts to make [Paul] Ferris sympathetic are undercooked. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt's all rather familiar, well enough acted yet not entirely convincing. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinTediously self-satisfied at best, like a shady old bar bore holding you hostage. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerIt never really sparks to life, thanks to a repetitive script and a frustrating lack of characterisation. |
| Total FilmOliver PfeifferThis brutal rise-to-infamy flick descends into a smug, profanity-choked endurance test. |
| VarietyCharles GantThe 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. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[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. |
