There are two types of police thrillers….good ones (The Departed) and bad ones (The Son of No One.) Jonathan (Channing Tatum) is a second-generation cop who has to come to terms with a murder in Queens that took place in his childhood tenement building, along with his neighbor, a now grown, Vincent (Tracy Morgan) His boss, the Police Captain (Ray Liotta) and a detective (Al Pacino).
The detective was involved in the investigation that leads him back to Jonathan. Jonathan harbors a dark secret from his wife (Katie Holmes) and seeks information from the local reporter (Juliette Binoche). But in the end, the final unraveling is a [spoiler alert] character begging the suggestion “I just wanted you to forget about this and live your life” yet all [they] do is keep him wrapped up in the past. Tracy Morgan’s ability to be taken seriously as a drugged-out-neighbor is the only quality acting in a film that has the lead man (Tatum) spending his time staring blankly with little dialog.
