Based on the true story of Paul Ferries, a well-known gangster, who faces many challenges and obstacles throughout his childhood in the street of Blackhill, by a group of violent criminals, the thing that leads him to fight to defend himself and make a well-known name among criminals, but he has been betrayed by the people he trusted.
[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.
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.
