My Son Hunter

This film has everything. It was clearly written by someone who doesn't really know much about film, didn't have nearly enough of a budget for the job, starred actors who have divebombed their careers, and seems like it had a legal team struggling to avoid getting sued.

You will watch and think, "that line almost sounded like a sentence a human would say, good work", "that sentence wasn't just exposition, high-fives all around", "that camera angle showed the things happening in the scene, superb", "this scene wasn't clearly written by a person who has never seen a drug outside of TV", "so this is what your career came too? You used to have a TV show", "that was an honest try at humor", and many more encouraging phrases.

Also they included an ad for the producers website in the middle of the movie, (a character turns to the camera and says to use the website) you gotta respect the hustle.

The facts, or the truth? Alternative facts - remember those? This may, or may not be the whole picture, but it's worth watching to see a great performance by Laurence Fox. He might be cancelled for his political views - but the fact is he is an amazing performer. Hunter Biden may be a morally corrupt individual, he certainly is no Saint, and he is painted here as an unpleasant narcissistic drug user. It's an interesting optic of a man in freefall, devoid of any guiding light. Fox brings this to life in spades. The reality is that Fox is nothing like Biden, and has entered the British political arena himself, while his acting career appears to be stalled. Gina Carano, herself no stranger to controvery with social media, breaks the 4th wall with great wit, and brings humour and physical presence to her part.

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.

You can see from the plethora of 1 and 10 star reviews here how blindly polarized American society is today. If it doesn't conform to the biased news sources both left and right that demonize each other daily, then there is absolutely no moderate middle ground it seems. For those of you giving this 9-10 stars... give your head a shake. That's like putting it on par with The Godfather. For those giving it 1 star reviews, stop watching MSNBC for a second, chill out and try to enjoy the satire. Trump has been roasted constantly over the last 6 years to the point where it's supremely annoying. God forbid someone should do the same to the Bidens for once.

OK rant over, on to the merits and drawbacks of the movie. I will agree that it was overly political, but what can you expect coming from Breitbart. I found the monologues hand-feeding Hunter's misdeeds to the audience with Carrano and the other side characters annoying distractions that really draw you out of the main narrative and make it seem like more of a political hit job than a film. That's probably my biggest gripe, and there are way more creative ways to do this.

The script is laughable at times, but overall I think it pulls through as just around par. The production value was actually quite good, with some great cinematography. Probably one of the best parts of the film, but it's almost like putting lipstick on a pig due to the other failings.

Despite everything else, I really enjoyed Laurence Fox's performance and think he did an excellent job portraying the sleazy yet emotionally damaged addict. Seeing his acting in the trailer was what originally got me to watch this in the first place. The parts where he was recounting his brother Beau and their childhood were excellent. If the rest of the script was able to evoke emotion even close to that as opposed to those annoying asides, this could have been a much better movie. John James as Biden was pretty funny too. I'm glad they didn't throw low blows by making fun of the speech and memory problems.

Overall, I'd give it a 6.5. This is an average movie that is held up by Laurence Fox's great acting, momentary emotional parts of the script that really shine through, and solid production value.

Excellent! It's like a Shakespearean Tragety. Davis did exceptional work.

We sort of wondered what all else could've been put in this if they'd have waited until Old Joe got railroaded out of office by Obama, Pelosy and Schumer.

Truly genius in the way they got everything in here. We laughed so hard at the tongue-in-cheek way they said all the quiet stuff out loud.

Of course, all the trolls were sent here to give bogus, unintelligent reviews so that people wouldn't watch it, but we already knew that and watched it in spite of them.

Just watch it and decide for yourself and go check reviews on Rotton Tomatoes. Not IMDB is compromised.

We loved it!
