McCorleone

The Wee Man (2013)

Directed by Ray Burdis this film based on real events stars Patrick Bergin, Martin Compston, Simon DeSilva and John Hannah. A young man grows up in Glasgow and becomes involved in organised crime.

Much like one of the characters in the film at times this film thinks it is the Scottish version of The Godfather (1972) but falls short. The script spends too much time on the actions of the characters rather than the motivations and does seem to have strayed from or over looked parts of the real events it claims to be based on. Mostly the film is not badly made but really could have done with a better script to start with.
