Review of American Son (2008) by Andrew S — 27 Oct 2009

An intimate portrayal of what's it like to spend your last 96 hours before heading out to Iraq. While I did like the simplicity of the story and overall direction of the film. It just moved along a too slow for me.

Nor was any of the character gripping or interesting enough to hold me attention through out he film. Nick Cannon impressed me slightly. So using to seeing him in silly teen comedies. But I think it's April Grace and Chi McBride who really shine in the film I've seen them in a variety of other films they always give god roles even though their mostly small ones and here is no different.

I really liked the romance between Nick and April's character and their interaction with one another and how it developed over the course of a few days. But for me that was the most interesting part of the film.
