alan rickman was the good thing in it, the soundtrack by oakenfold kinda felt misplaced, the over use of mini coopers in that made it almost a commercial for them and the story had nothing to offer then a foreseen twist...

It doesn't all add up in the end but Alan Rickman is really good.

There was a lot more going on in this plot than I had anticipated; perhaps a bit too much, but I'll give it credit for trying. Alan Rickman and Mary Steenburgen are both great; everyone else is meh.

Alan Rickman and Mary Steenburgen are both great; everyone else is meh. But perhaps it's the characters I dislike and not the actors. After all, Bill Pullman is always just some guy; how could I possibly be affronted by that? But, one thing's for sure: I absolutely hated the ending!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: any movie with Alan Richman in it is automatically worth watching. And Bill Pullman . . . I'm liking that guy more all the time.

Mary Steenburgen is great in this too. Other Facebook reviewers seem not to have liked Nobel Son, but I thought it was well paced and clever, and had a darn good time watching it.

After watching a preview for this movie, I really expected to like it but I ended up really hating it.What a major disappointment

I think this is supposed to be a black comedy, only without any laughs. The plot and premise, whilst farfetched, are quite clever albeit a little twisted and yucky.

The plot and premise, whilst farfetched, are quite clever albeit a little twisted and yucky. The music, with some irritating vocoder moments, seems to be randomly chosen and randomly placed throughout the film which detracts somewhat, along with some ropey cinematography and dodgy editing, all of which conspire to make this an unappealing way to spend 2hrs. Much as I generally like Alan Rickman, I'd avoid this one.

An alright movie. Alan Rickman plays a perfect dick (ie., he plays a dick perfectly) and has some great lines. The plot is fairly predictable, and the so-called twists don't really surprise that much. The cast has a huge range of great actors, althou... (read more) An alright movie. Alan Rickman plays a perfect dick (ie., he plays a dick perfectly) and has some great lines. The plot is fairly predictable, and the so-called twists don't really surprise that much. The cast has a huge range of great actors, although most of them aren't really given much to do (specifically DeVito and Danson). Finally, the title song wasn't that great, and ditto for the rest of the music. In short: a caper film that thinks it's a better movie than it is when it's really just a collection of connected jokes.

Nobel Son isn't funny enough for black comedy, nor suspenseful enough for a thriller; for all its flashy flailings and thumb-slicings, it's ultimately a little dull.

The plot by itself could have become tiresome; no audience enjoys spending all evening walking into stone walls. But the acting is another matter.
