Review of The Son

The Son (2002)
6/10
This movie will test your patience!
4 May 2008
Do not watch this movie if you have ADD. It a very slow plot with superb acting that makes you stick with it. Although slow paced, it has an edge of your seat quality about it, that keeps you glued to the screen (if for no other reason knowing that the plot must pick up!).

Overall, it is little like watching paint dry, and then realizing the paint is drying in a very interesting and unforgettable pattern. I would recommend the movie for those studying film or acting, only as to see how to achieve an intensity without using flashy gimmicks or intense music. The direction is unlike most films in movies today, depending on superb acting (alone) to carry the movie through. If you are interested in this type of setup, get the movie. Otherwise, I would skip it!
