Watch The Son of No One For Free

Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

Best movie ever!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Look, with all honesty, I rarely review movies, but this one, just couldn't help with, I just signed up for IMDb so I could warn people not to waste their time the same way I did, not giving away spoilers, just trying to help others, do not watch this bad movie, bad story, bad acting, bad ending.

I'm surprised it received so many bad reviews. I think it is a great movie, very well acted, strong and realistic, no sugar coating here. Tension builds up so well and the ending is very powerful. It's not an action movie ,is more a drama , dark thriller, I don't now how to describe it . Very New York The plot is original. I really liked it

Having finished watching The Son of No One, I can't say that I am truly disappointed in what I saw, but I felt the film could have been better. Not having too high expectations because knowing the film did not make a US theater release (made film Festivals- Sundance) but I felt that the talented cast was wasted. The cast is what drew me into watching the film. Also starring in the film is Al Pacino, Ray Liotta, Tracy Morgan, and Katie Holmes.The Son of No one offers many flashbacks showing Channing Tatum's character Johnathan White as a young child in 1986 (roughly about 14 years old), and we quickly see what happens with the character, as he first kills one stranger as self defense. The other killing he does later in the film also involves self defense in another manner. Fast forward 16 years later and we now see Johnathan White grown and working as a cop, yet still slightly traumatized by this incident. I did not find the excessive use of flashback sequences to be bad but felt the actors acting could have been better (specifically by his friend Vinnie, along with the other girl Vicky).The ending also bugged me as if they did not know how to end the film or they were running low on budget. From the point on where he see Johnathan confess to his wife (Katie Holmes) about the incident, to then his partner cop taking him down to the force for an interrogation with Captain Marion Mathers (Ray Liotta), and detective Charles Stanford (Al Pacino- who's first encounter with present day Johnathan), everyone spills out. I assumed we were waiting for Johnathan to tell the news which was the build up for but it was Mathers who breaks it. We then hear that Mathers and Stanford simply allow the incident to slip and they tell Johnathan to forgot about it ever happening. They let him off easy because they do not want the news to come out that a cop was in on a murder which happened years ago. Once they allow Johnathan to exit, he then proceeds to leave, get in his vehicle, drive home, but as he is doing so, he gets thoughts in his head and suddenly turns back to where Mathers and Stanford were questioning him. Once he arrives back on scene, he then sees that they both have his friend Vinnie on the roof top hostage and were about to shoot. A few moments of chatter occurs discussing the situation. What eventually proceeds to happen is that Vinnie shoots and kills Mathers, then Stanford shoots and knocks Vinnie down from the roof top to the ground killing him. Johnathan being stunned by his friend being dead, we see the anger in Tatum's face as he is exiting away from Stanford. Fast forward a few scenes later and we see a brief scene of Vicky writing and confessing that she was the one who was sending letters towards Johnathan (meaning Vinnie kept his word and was innocent- Vicky was the one who basically got three people killed because of her misdoings). Afterwards, the letter gets sent, Johnathan picks it up, reads it then the film ends.The storyline makes too much of a big deal surrounding an incident that happened when he was younger and in a form self defense. It is interesting watching it all unfold, though it could have been more suspenseful. The Son of No one was more of a cop drama than a cop thriller. With better story telling and a better script, this film could have been something special. I did find the acting from the cast all really well which is what makes the film more enjoyable.

I love cop thrillers but this was pretty awful. Channing Tatum gives a lousy performance as usual in what already is a boring and dull film and even the supporting cast who do a decent job can't save this movie. The film cuts between flashbacks way too many times and doesn't allow us to get to know the main character at all which just made this incredibly frustrating to watch. There was also some pretty bad editing here which at times was so bad I couldn't even tell what was going on on screen. I figured by the end of the film there might be some payoff in the climax, but instead there's a twist that makes no sense and all I could think was that the writers wrote it as the scene was being filmed because it makes no sense what so ever. I really wish I would've listened to the reviews and stayed away from this one. Even if you're a huge fan of Cop Crime-Drama's there's little enjoyment you'll find here.
