As a whole, it's forgettable.
January 16, 2013
It never really sparks to life, thanks to a repetitive script and a frustrating lack of characterisation.
January 17, 2013
An undeniably watchable criminal soap opera offering personal redemption.
January 18, 2013
On the whole, The Wee Man is a fascinating story well told - the first steps in making a decent movie.
January 17, 2013
Tediously self-satisfied at best, like a shady old bar bore holding you hostage.
January 20, 2013
It's all rather familiar, well enough acted yet not entirely convincing.

[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.
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.
January 18, 2013
A clichéd, wearily familiar true-life crime drama clearly made on the cheap.
January 18, 2013
A crudely directed, typically unreliable gangster biopic, based on a memoir by Glaswegian hard man Paul Ferris.
January 21, 2013
Manages to disappoint in every respect.
January 21, 2013
Blows any intrigue by piling on one gangster movie cliché after another.
