The Son of No One

Writer and director Dito Montiel's third feature reunites him again with his star Channing Tatum for another drama set in New York. A young cop's troubled past comes to haunt him when he moves back to the neighborhood where he grew up. Montiel had the daunting task to make an original film about cop world in New York which has been explored many times in superior films, so it's not surprising that the film fails to deliver given the talent involved. The inherent problem lies with the script, its structure and execution which the cast couldn't save. The all star cast includes Al Pacino, Juliette Binoche, Katie Holmes and Ray Liotta among others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
