Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Life is a struggle, the new film "The Son of No One" makes that explicitly clear. But so is moviemaking, and unfortunately the toil is all too evident in writer-director Dito Montiel's messy, logic-strained third feature.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It just feels like a mess.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
A laughable police melodrama.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
"The Son of No One" self-destructs in a ludicrous, ineptly directed anticlimactic rooftop showdown in which bodies pile up, and nothing makes a shred of sense.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
