Review of The Wee Man (2013) by Steve W — 19 Oct 2013
I was interested to see this movie as I thought a Scottish gangster film would be entertaining. I found it a very enjoyable romp with a few scenes that make you flinch or smile but without the use of close up gore.
How accurate it is historically is questionable, but that is true of almost all "true life" movies, nevertheless the characters are well developed and largely believable and there are some great performances from Martin Compston as Ferris, John Hannah as Tam McGraw and particularly Stephen McCole as a troubled Junior Thomson.
Watch it with an open mind and enjoy - The Godfather it isn't - but for a low budget UK produced movie it is good entertainment.
