My Son Hunter

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.

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.

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!

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.

This is an important attempt at art. I was very pleased to see the ads for this one. Obviously there are powerful entities trying their best to cover up the important factual elements of this movie. The world of cinema has been so influenced by these forces that making a controversial in your face movie about the factual truth at the heart of this news story and making it with an attitude is very punk rock and I stand and applaud that.

This movie lays out some important facts. The lead actor is very good at playing the titular character. Shedding light on these matters through this art form at this moment in history is very important. I just wish I had more nice things to say about it, but that's about it. It reminds me more of the brief corny reenacting segments from a Dnesh Dsouza documentary than it does a classic piece of real cinema. If you want to know the facts, here are they are. Its just I dont know who this movie is for.

Anybody who wants to see this is probably already curious enough and knowledgeable enough about all the facts in the movie. I was expecting these facts to have a good movie around them. A well told story that you could appreciate in a timeless fashion even if you had no idea about any of this or the weight of it at present. Unfortunately that doesn't happen. False advertising. I wouldn't recommend it to people who dont follow American politics closely. Its a well done reenactment of facts and lays them out well in the way you would expect a corny network reenactment to play out. They try to inject some comedy but it isn't well done or funny aside from a few brief moments. The acting aside from the main character (he's great) is very very amateur, as is the pacing and cinematography and soundtrack and the rest. If you're looking for confirmation bias and dead set on liking this and laughing at the poorly told "jokes" that's the only way I could see calling this a good piece of cinema.

As a reenactment of facts it succeeds and is more fun than just watching a documentary with interviews and talking heads. I just feel betrayed by the false advertising that this is a real top notch film. I think most of the target audience already knows these facts, so it would have been nice if it could appeal to more of mainstream moviegoers. As a reenactment of important present news stories it succeeds in the way a really good episode of a TV News Drama like Unsolved Mysteries would. As true timeless cinematic art, nope, I dont know how anybody could say that with honesty it even finds the ballpark. A step in the right direction for cinema, but a very small baby step that ends in a collapse. Its heart was in the right place, but thats not enough. Better luck next time, keep trying.
