The Robert Davi-directed My Son Hunter (2021) proffers an engagingly true performance by Laurence Fox as Hunter Biden. It fits perfectly a ferocious satire on political malfeasance and techno-age conniving. John James is also comically strong as Joe Biden. As amusing as it is barbed—very barbed about the laptop affair—the film eventually fails because of a changing tone and moments of agitprop. It’s a necessary piece which could have been good. Incidentally, if President Trump has been unprincipled about acquiring money, a film about this too would be necessary.
