Son of Morning is about a 20 something nobody who is suddenly propelled into the spotlight thanks to a reaction to a prescription drug. If you are looking for any of the deep areas this premise can take you, you are sadly mistaken. I do not wish to write a bad review. Perhaps I just do not have the eyes for this film. Unfortunately, from where I am standing, this movie is reminiscent of a high school project with a much bigger budget. Every time the movie attempted to be artsy, the point was far too obvious, and had no real depth. This movie could have been much better.
And just a comment on the last review, I think the director was much too '90 with much of his film work. Many parts (i.e camera work, extra/ main character acting style, certain dialogue and continuous indulgence in it's own messages) were very sudo-avante garde.
That's all I'll say, for I do not wish to slander someone's work. However, I think all would agree, could have been much better. Too good a premise, and too many good actors for such a poor work..... (btw Danny Glover, always a gem. Best part of the film)

lots of times, before seeing a movie, i come here to check out the comments if i'm 'on the fence' about whether or not to see it... there wasn't any more feedback then than there is now. but i really like danny glover. and i've seen lorraine bracco in some good films... so i gave it a chance. BIG mistake. so i write this so that maybe YOU might choose differently and not waste any time/energy/effort with this movie... a few interesting possibilities for a story that, ultimately, goes NOwhere... i think one of the reviewers wrote that it was more like a high school project. i think they were giving more credit than it deserved... i think that's ten lines and all that i'm giving this since i already feel robbed...
