My Son

Look at what they did to me wee son. A new thriller drama featuring James McAvoy on Peacock. A father who spent little time with his family returned to his ex-wife in order to find his missing son. This is another case of a mediocre movie that tried nothing more than the genre's skeleton. The story was done countless times before, which made this movie so boring and predictable. The thriller scene near the end was pretty decent, but was not enough to make me care much for the characters. The only saving grace of this movie was James McAvoy himself. He had a good performance despite playing such a mediocre character. This confused me a bit because I can't see why he wanted to be in this movie. His character had a background that was barely touched on. It was mentioned with the intention of having some significance to the overall plot, but at the end it was just brushed off. Not sure why they would leave such seemingly important detail in the air. Overall, such a mediocre movie. Even though it's free on Peacock, don't waste your time. 4.5/10.

Im going to keep it simple and just say its really damn good. James is one hell of an actor & the movie delivers. Its not that slow of a burn because it keeps you gripped to the screen from start to finish. The story is always moving forward with no filler garbage.

I've seen the original film, the French version which at first seems slow but get pretty good towards the end. . This one pretty much as same.. James McAvoy is such a great actor, I love to watch everything he does.. beautiful scenary & great cast performances..
