There's wonderful use made of a Maine port town, and Ruben gets a dizzying thrill or two out of overhead shots, but the conceptual overload finally prevents this from coming together.

A summer camp classic.

The Good Son has a handsome, scenic look that sustains interest, and a suspenseful ending that is quite literally gripping.
