Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Even if you can summon some admiration for Nobel Son's editing or snippets of clever dialogue, the movie is so relentlessly self-congratulatory, you can't help becoming thoroughly sick of it.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,

rotten:
It's one of those films stuffed with odd characters in overblown situations. Unfortunately, you don't care about any of them.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
5 Dec 2008
rotten:
The plot twists are mostly predicated on the characters' improbably shifting loyalties, the sort of thing you can get away with only when the people in your movie are drained of all compassion.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
5 Dec 2008
rotten:
I had high hopes for Nobel Son at the halfway point, but it ultimately really completely collapses under the weight of its clever twists.

Is it a thriller? Is it a heist movie? Is it a comedy?
