This movie was not what I expected it to be at all. I suppose I was expecting a lovely thriller full of every cliché known to thriller movies anywhere with some new twist on something. That’s what Cinequest is for! But not a movie that wasn’t sure what it was either, that was randomly taken over by the characters being written or that seemed to be full of homo erotic angst.
Was this a comedy? Certainly there were some funny parts. I especially like the half-naked fan service in the background. Was this a movie about self discovery? The leading character did seem to try to learn about himself. Was this a thriller? Not really. There wasn’t enough suspense or body count to be a thriller.
I think this was really a movie about writing. That sometimes a writer tries to force a story or a set of characters into the plot he creates, and then finds out that just isn’t where it wants to go. Writing oneself into a proverbial corner.
The audience would’ve been better served if the writer had stayed true to his real passion. He obviously wanted to write a gay porn flick and seemed better suited to doing so because this movie was just confusing.
