Sweet Sixteen (2002)

With his mother serving time for crimes committed by her drug-pushing boyfriend, a Glaswegian teen (Martin Compston) vows to make a better life for her after she's released from prison on his 16th birthday. In order to earn enough cash to set them up in a new place, Compston embarks on a crime spree that could land him in hotter water than his troubled mom.
