Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A thoroughly generic action flick in which a gang of thieves without much honor attempt to pull off one last big heist.
– Mike D'Angelo,
AV Club,

rotten:
"Son of a Gun" adds to the mystique that Australian crime films are meaner, nastier and more brutish than their American counterparts. But it changes style roughly every half-hour.
– Stephen Holden,

rotten:
"Son of a Gun" is a derivative crime thriller that sputters when it should propel, skims when it should probe.
– Gary Goldstein,

fresh:
It's all put together with a crisp confidence that suggests its writer-director will swiftly move on to bigger things.
– Trevor Johnston,
Time Out,
