WELL, the affectionate title tells you where this film is going; and it's not about to portray Paul Ferris as part of the cancer of criminality that pervades Glasgow life.

It's an attempt to maintain Ferris as the victim, a young man so demonised by violence he had to take to a world of stabbing, slashing and shooting to survive.
Young Paul (Daniel Kerr) is cute as a button, a victim of bullying, and as we watch how his dog is killed and (later) his girlfriend raped by thugs, the cute kid turns into a dark avenger, Blackhill's answer to Bruce Wayne. But, instead of carting off evil to jail, Ferris beats and stabs his way to revenge.
