My Son Hunter

It makes the hooker the voice of reason, strangely.

It breaks the fourth wall to explain things to the viewer. It's awkward. A good work of art dramatizes, it doesn't lecture. It's like they couldn't decide whether this is a documentary with a narrator or a dramatization.

The pacing is too slow

The main actor is great, I just wish he'd been given a better script and direction.

Feels like a college project, with big text and cartoonish thought bubbles. The style has no continuity.

They made Biden unbelievably lucid.

Dialogue is clunky and at times laughable.

Gina Carano detracted from the movie. Her smugness is just annoying.

It's a waste of time.

No matter your political leanings this is just embarrassingly godawful. Incompetent, shabbily-streamed, boring, etc. Etc. Poor Laurence is a pale shell of the actor he was in Inspector Lewis and the rest are clearly in it for the money.

If you're really curious, don't waste your hard-earned money on the actual movie. Rather, spend it instead on a one month $5 buck Patreon subscription to podcast QAnon Anonymous's hysterically funny blow by blow of this atrocity, to be found under the title "Premium Episode 184: My Son Hunter." There's a a good sample on Soundcloud.

You might enjoy their other "movie night" adventures, but this was truly one of their best.

This project is absolutely tragic from beginning to end. The cast is a combination of washed up has-beens and actors that never really took off. Laurence Fox, for example, has long been a talentless ham who only got put into movies and shows because his family is some kind of UK acting royalty (a true "nepo baby"). Judging by his twitter feed, it appears he is now moving on to politics, and I'm sure he'll fail just as badly in that as he did in acting. Gina Carano shows once again that it was really only her athletic skills as a MMA fighter that got her movie & television roles - since this isn't an action movie, we are instead subjected to her wooden acting which is even worse than that of "Lozza" Fox. I'll give it 2 stars because it's competently filmed, but when it all comes down to it, it's just a crude attack by people who are angry that their little laptop story didn't have the same effect as "her e-mails". That's all it really is. Best to skip it and spend your time watching better movies.

Politics aside this movie is a mess. Like what is it? Is it a documentary? If it is it's too over-laden with "comedy" that undercuts the message it's trying to convey. If it's just supposed to be a movie there's too many sections of just droning exposition for it to be entertaining. It'll do fine in it's echo chamber I noticed most of the positive reviews are from people 45 +, but it's not going to convince anybody else by being as compelling as watching comunity theater production of Frost/Nixon. Also nothing says America first than having the entire film being shot in Serbia and only using foreign labor because it's cheaper.

Poorly written, poorly directed, poorly acted. This movie does not have a storyline it's just garbled nonsense. The plot (I'm being generous to call it that) is just the embodiment of every conspiratorial and bad faith argument by the far right wing. Even going into it with an open mind, I was disappointed in the first scene. There is nothing entertaining or informative or thought provoking about this film. It is just nonsense. It's clearly made to profit off of the hate and ignorance of its target audience with no care for anyone that's not deep into that political ideology. Don't waste time or money on this unless you're who they were trying to market this garbage to.
