Featured reviews
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.
My reaction to the film is both good and bad. The film opens with the disclaimer this is a not a true story, except for the facts" That really seems to be the point of the film. The fictional narrative is a device used to help make sense and flesh out a variety of characters, relationships and complex schemes we may have heard bantered about in the press. It's not an Oliver Stone political blockbuster like JFK but it's certainly more entertaining than Tom Hanks snoozer "The Post." Even with several compelling performances, the film has an aura of low budget amateurishness about it as it is often just too on the nose but certainly not without style. In a way, that really works for "My Son Hunter." Even with it's flaws, it's a fun film. Yet after watching, I was left wondering, was I cringing in parts because of the movie or because what the Biden's got up to was so bad? This film is it's own animal. It's satire blended with facts designed to get the audience to dig deeper into a problem a politically polarized media has purposely tried to ignore and suppress. It's obvious the film maker meant this as a "Wake up you idiots" slap in the face to those who failed to do their job for the sake of getting the"Orange Man out." In that regard my hat is off to a film maker who dared do what professional in the press would not. Those with political leanings one way or the other may praise or pan the film depending on their bias. I'd encourage everyone to give it a watch and make up their own mind. If only half the facts presented in this movie were true, and I suspect that may be an understatement, this would make the film a powerful piece worthy of serious follow up... this time.
My Son Hunter is an audacious, high-energy political satire that leans all the way into its controversial subject matter with style and swagger. Directed with a clear intent to provoke and entertain, the film blends real-life scandals with fictional flair, creating a surreal and sometimes hilarious narrative. Laurence Fox brings unpredictable charisma to the lead role, capturing both charm and chaos in equal measure. The dialogue is sharp, the tone unapologetically over-the-top, and the pacing rarely lets up. It's not your typical biopic-it's more like a fever dream wrapped in political theater. Whether you're watching out of curiosity or ideology, My Son Hunter delivers a ride that's anything but boring. It's messy, daring, and surprisingly compelling.
A funny and often shocking look into the wild life of Hunter Biden.
In this world of shock culture some scenes are dramatic and over the top.
The underlying story of information suppression in a time when transparency was needed is shocking.
Lawrence fox puts in a great performance as Hunter.
Good side support and great camera work in the club scenes.
Blame orange man for any tiny indiscretion and hide any wrongs from other side.
As a neutral it's terrifying the power big media possess. Even the fact that this movie isn't on cinemas due to left wing bias is enough to turn it into a must watch classic of it's time.
Worth a watch whatever side of politics you are on.

I swear reading through the reviews of this, you'd think that this movie was garbage. The acting was meh and the script was jumbled together but I think this was a hilarious.
"Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up" -Alan Moore The lie is that this is a satire..... Everything in this movie has been verified to be true but because we are so polarized as a nation, half the population eats whatever the mainstream media throws at them and thinks it's true when they are just as bad as politicians about lying. Journalistic Integrity is lost. Think for yourself, soak in multiple independent news sources and be informed before voting. Maybe vote for who wants government to control LESS and give people more freedoms because after all the government is supposed to be small and protect God given freedoms.
