Son is a pretty entertaining little shoot 'em up, almost entirely thanks to McGregor. Grizzled but wiry, he has the presence of a coiled spring, ready to launch at any moment.January 23, 2015
It's a little heavy on incident, and a little light on soul.January 23, 2015
"Son of a Gun" is a derivative crime thriller that sputters when it should propel, skims when it should probe.February 04, 2015
A not-so-thrilling heist thriller that drones along mechanically between explosions and car crashes with Ewan McGregor, who is making entirely too many movies these days, none of them worth writing home about.January 22, 2015
"Son of a Gun" adds to the mystique that Australian crime films are meaner, nastier and more brutish than their American counterparts. But it changes style roughly every half-hour.April 13, 2015
It's done extremely well and with a great deal of verve.April 13, 2015
A reasonably engaging thriller, Son of a Gun is most notable for reminding us of that Ewan McGregor still possesses that irresistibly dangerous and edgy quality that propelled him to stardom in Shallow Grave and Trainspotting.April 14, 2015
Julius Avery wrote and directed with an eye toward a fast pace and grim atmospherics.April 14, 2015
When the focus is firmly on McGregor and Thwaites, the movie crackles; the actors rip into the toxic father-son dynamic between their characters, and their rapport gives the key action sequences a real kick.January 26, 2015
It's all put together with a crisp confidence that suggests its writer-director will swiftly move on to bigger things.January 22, 2015
A thoroughly generic action flick in which a gang of thieves without much honor attempt to pull off one last big heist.
