	‘The Good Son’ (R)
		In "The Stepfather" and "Sleeping With the Enemy," Ruben showed a keen eye for the seismic fissures in the foundation of the so-called "average" American family.
		By design, the film is meant to show Culkin in a vastly different light, but from conception it seems wrongheaded and even cynical.
		"The Good Son" is rated R for violence and language.

		They went from doctor to doctor, until finally, in 1980, their son’s condition was diagnosed as ulcerative colitis—a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine that slowly destroys the colon.
		Jamie’s condition continued to decline, and by January 1993, he was essentially living at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, under the care of Byers W. Shaw, Jr., M.D., one of the nation’s leading transplant surgeons.
		Beautifully shot and deeply moving, the film interweaves the stories of four transplant patients with those of two families who donated the organs of lost loved ones.

		Though being Jewish makes her automatically an "Other" in her society, one of the interesting things about this film is that it is about the life of a woman who, for all intents and purposes, led a perfectly ordinary life for her time and place.
		The film starts when Sophie (played by Karin-Lise Mynster) is in her late twenties, the loving, still unmarried, only daughter in a comfortable bourgeoise family whose Swedish father and Danish mother (Erland Josephson and Ghita Norby) are totally and endearingly in love with one another.
		People's ordinary lives don't read like film plot summaries, there is no dramatic high point followed by a resolution, but there is a kind of inevitable cycle and it's this rhythm of life that this film captures.

		However, this does keep you glued to the screen and wondering what will happen in the end, and the film is a delight to watch purely because the children are so cute.
		It is the battle between good (Mark) and evil (Henry).

	The Good Son DVD Review from iofilm.co.uk
		Filmed in standard 1.85:1 widescreen, the anamorphic picture is not good-looking.
		The whole film is crippled by a "damp wallpaper" look, that is rather disturbing and not easy on the eye.
		The Dolby 2.0 soundtrack is adequate, but the film's sound design is strictly stereo fare.

	The Good Son review (1993) Macaulay Culkin - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Perhaps the rating was due to the fact that Culkin's biggest fans are primarily children, many of whom had already learned to emulate his behavior from the Home Alone films, and parents would have been concerned about the possibility of kids acting like their role model when he plays an amoral psychopath.
		Regardless of the ratings decision, The Good Son isn't really a film that strikes home with any particular audience, except save for schlock thriller junkies, as the boring story and lack of quality scares keep this one firmly grounded by routine formula plotting and overwhelming predictability.
		The production of The Good Son was troubled from the get-go, originally intended to be made back in the late 1980s, when such fare was popular, with such films as Fatal Attraction and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle scoring high returns at the box office.

		At first Mark seems to be having a good time until he begins to see the real Henry when a slip leaves him dangling over the side of a treehouse (which is about 100 feet high) and Hery asks him "If I let go, do you think you could fly?".
		this film has the same feel good factor as the sandlot kids or richie rich and considering that this film is played by kids of the majoraty of the film you cant put it down.
		This film is a prime example of the saying love is blind which is clearly demonstrated by the mothers actions in the film.

		THE GOOD SON is the story of Mark (Elijah Wood), a young boy who has just lost his mother to cancer and is guilt-ridden because he promised her he wouldn't let her die.
		The problems with THE GOOD SON are almost entirely in the execution.
		Elijah Wood is fine, a good young actor forced to spend most of this film making his eyes as wide as possible.

		Part of the problem may be that the guilt and grief are never well-presented, and it's difficult to understand why Mark comes to believe that his aunt is somehow the reincarnation of his mother, whose dying words to him were that she would be with him forever.
		If anything, this element makes THE GOOD SON even less believable than it already is. The ending of the movie is actually clever, which is a surprise given the routine conclusions to so many thrillers, but those few good minutes do not save the movie.
		From the red-clay backdrops of Nevada to the frosty winterscapes of New England, THE GOOD SON is beautifully photographed (by cinematographer John Lindley), but that's one of its few positive points.

		Even after he hit puberty and discovered American action films and Nintendo, Omar, a conscientious Islamic student, still loved to quote from the adventures of the Belgian cartoon reporter, which he seemed to know by heart.
		His 1993 report card is full of praise from his teachers, especially for his efforts in Koranic and Islamic studies.
		Die Hard was Omar's favourite movie, and it is hard not to wonder if some of its more dramatic scenes played themselves out in his head as he lay in wait in the rubble of a mud-brick compound in eastern Afghanistan.

	The Good Son Film Review - Time Out Film
		The reason has nothing to do with the film's shortcomings and everything to do with the murder of the Liverpool toddler James Bulger by two small boys and the media uproar which followed.
		Based on an original screenplay by Ian McEwan (who disowned the film), the story concerns young Mark (Wood), who comes to stay with his aunt and uncle and gradually discovers that his cousin Henry (Macaulay Culkin) is psychotic.
		Despite a few crude philosophical stabs at the nature of evil, the film is basically a straight-ahead melodrama, driven home with force if not finesse by the director of The Stepfather.

	The Good Son review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"The Good Son" is sort of a male version of "The Bad Seed." But this thriller and its villain are neither good enough (as in scary) nor bad enough (as in evil) to really succeed.
		And when Mark tries to warn Henry's parents that their son is planning even more sinister acts, they think Mark is the one who's causing all the problems.
		"The Good Son" may feature youngsters in the leading roles, but this is one "adult thriller" that probably should be left to older audiences.

		A teen sci-fi film based on the book "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and uses special effects to attract viewers, but overall is a good teen thriller to watch on a late night.
		Although the film is about high-school students fighting off their alien holding teachers, it's plot isn't original and it's based on the 1993 film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
		The film spends an hour and an half trying to make the audience wonder who the alien master is, but you know who it is from the first 2 minutes.

		He's simply trying to keep up with a film that would subject him to the horror of having him kill her mother just because she won't tell him where Laura (now Sara) is.
		In retrospect, it's obvious from this film which of them would make the difficult transfer to adult roles and continue to work in the years to come...despite that cheesy voice-over at the end.
		All of these films form a sort of trilogy of family problems which Ruben has yet to top, either commercially or artistically.
