First half is better than the second half. Around the 51 minute mark, the movie changes completely. The first half is 10/10. Second half is more of a 5/10. I wish it would've remained a father & son conflict as it was in the beginning. The enemies and their tactics are not very believable. There's a number of very unrealistic choices made by all the characters. But I was still entertained throughout, so I recommend it.

Two different movies in one
Love it or hate it
Judging from the reviews this is a love it or hate it film. Overall well acted, good directing and cinematography. The first half hour for me was not so interesting. Then a twist where you think you know what it's about. And then it gets weirder and weirder. It's not all gold, but more than enough to recommend a watch, just don't expect a standard Hollywood or horror movie.
Absurd, audacious, colourful and moving
Elijah Wood gives a very good performance as an abandoned son seeking closure in this charmingly whacky comic thriller. "Come to Daddy" initially shows an endearing strangeness that's reinforced by the camera angles and casually elegant framing. The plot substantially nuttier. Enjoyable performances from Wood and Donovan hold the film to its liberating goals, even as it descends into what can only be described as bloody chaos. Absurd, audacious, colourful and moving. Buckle up and enjoy the ride up to the end. You will enjoy this movie.
