Leave your thoughts about Son of a Gun.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDoes a laudable job steering the feature away from outright cliché, pumping the picture full of action and heated confrontations, while the details of hood life are arranged interestingly |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatySon of a Gun becomes a somewhat predictable but excitingly twisty heist film involving a double-dealing Russian heavy, a desperate femme fatale, and a fortune in gold bars. It has just enough muscle and style to make the familiar feel fresh. |
| NerdistKyle AndersonWhile not breaking any new ground narratively, Son of a Gun is a solid prison-heist-escape movie with a truly terrific turn from Ewan McGregor. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloUnfortunately, this promising material turns out to be merely the setup for a thoroughly generic action flick in which a gang of thieves without much honor attempt to pull off one last big heist. In the long, dispiriting slide to mediocrity thereafter, McGregor largely relapses into cute-rascal mode. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonWhile Avery handles the kinetic action set-piece with impressive swagger for a first-timer, his self-penned screenplay is a major weak point. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallThe deliberately chaotic climax is smoothly sustained, and some adroitly applied plot twists revealing the final shape of things has the McGregor grin flashing and fading then doing it all over again. |
| Sky CinemaLewis BazleyA nerve-wracking thrill ride with surprises, wit and no small amount of heart, Son of a Gun's full of genre excitement and promise for Avery's future. |
| We Got This CoveredLiam DunnThis is a film of tough men doing tough things, of shoot outs and car chases, and of backstabbing double crosses. This is what has been missing from action cinema lately, and it is refreshing and exciting to see something so propulsive. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelSon is a pretty entertaining little shoot 'em up, almost entirely thanks to McGregor. Grizzled but wiry, he has the presence of a coiled spring, ready to launch at any moment. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineThis may not be the brightest thriller in the cinema, but it's made with such a ripping sense of energy that it's thoroughly entertaining. |
