There's no excuse for a cliche-ridden script

The Wee Man (18)

H

Dir: Ray Burdis

With: Martin Compston, Stephen McCole

Dir: 105 minutes

EVEN by the sometimes subterranean standards of homegrown cinema, this biopic of convicted criminal Paul Ferris, one-time bad boy of this manor, is a shocker. The way this film tells it, Ferris had it so hard from bullies growing up he couldn't help but grow up to be a tearaway.
