This movie really could have been a winner but was spoiled by poor acting and many illogical, disconnected steps that had the viewer constantly questioning the character's actions and decisions. The acting is also stilted and wooden, and seems to shy away from any overtly sexual scenes that would have lent greater credibility to the story and the relationship between the two men. The constant use of close ups of faces, eyes, and numerous vacant stares by the lead actor just became tedious after a while, and dragged out a premise that could have been told in 30 minutes. There is little in the way of logic or depth to this movie and it comes across as more of an "art film" than focusing on really telling a meaningful story. Overall, it's a really pointless film that appears to have been produced to satisfy a self indulgent need to make one rather than telling a story.
