A trainwreck

Sadly, an utter waste of budget, everyone's time and money. Minorities and females are sidelined to playing caricatures (including the girl, who barely has any lines, and her longest time on screen is used in a lengthy scene where she slow-mo dances in her underwear for no apparent reason), and the two main characters, father and son, are among the blandest put to screen. The dry dialogue, senseless scenes, an incomplete plot and a clunky pseudo-direction of Mr. Jamaicanoproblem (who assigned Pablo Agüero for the heavy-lifting mise en scène) leave baffling results in the final presentation of A Son of Man. The attractive point, an absurd overuse of drone shots and other showy camera techniques cannot save this headless film-a film that doesn't know what it wants to be other than a vanity project that's pretty enough to be cut into trailers and packaged nicely to be sold to oblivious moviegoers.
