CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

McEwansExported This film is truly awful. The lead actor is totally out his depth as a Glasgow gangland enforcer and the way the story was portrayed was nothing short of a pantomime in it's attempt to position the lead character as the hero.Does this film have any redeeming qualities? No!If you think you will see a good British gangster film full of big characters, violence, betrayal and other must have ingredients you are wasting your time.Do not bother to watch this, you will be angry at how amateurish it is.

syphongb I read the book "The Paul Ferris Conspiracy" and really enjoyed it, it had a tang of truth about it and a compelling narrative. This adaptation though, it's a different story.Never in the book, or indeed during Ferris's actual life, did he witness a point blank murder while a little boy. Thompson barely ever spoke to Ferris the whole time he dealt with him, he always got others to do business for him. His early knife crime exploits...Ferris went to lengths to try to explain that they always slashed, never stabbed...it's the difference literally between life and death, no young lad would have tried to carry out a mass murder like that! The gunfight at the beginning - in reality it was two guys firing old farmer's shotguns at each other, the film turned it into a Mexican cartel war. The revenge attack was just movie rubbish, total exaggeration.The portrayal of Ferris himself was pretty good, and the Junior role was even better, although Junior barely ever got involved in violence himself. He was also a smackhead and more fond of wearing tracksuits then actual suits! Worth watching, but it's far removed from reality.

MattyGibbs The Wee Man is the true story of a Scottish gangster. It's a story told a million times before and there are no surprises in the script. I had no idea who the subject was and to be honest this film probably works better if you don't know it's a true story. Notwithstanding the overdone subject matter I found this to be an absorbing and entertaining film. This is in no small part due to a superb cast. Martin Compston is an actor I like and he is excellent in the lead role here. With top rate actors in support like John Hannah and Denis Lawson, The Wee Man was always going to be a cut above the normal British gangster film. It's fairly violent but not excessively so and the script is sharp with no time filling scenes. My main gripe with the film was that the gangster is maybe dealt with a bit too sympathetically. If you are looking for a decent gangster film then this is well worth watching.

Ray Burdis A stunning film! My mum thought it was better than the original God Father, I don't know about that but I thought Martin Compston and John Hannah's performances were powerful. They was not allowed to film in Glasgow and were forced to shoot in London which was a shame but I think it come across OK. It was slated by the critics, surprise surprise, but went on to take number 2 box office average first week under Les Miss not bad for a film shot on a shoe string. All in all it is another British film and a bit of support wouldn't go a miss folks.I went out and bought 10 DVD's and gave them to my friends... I suppose I would though being the director! Ray xxx
