the suckiest suck to ever suck
no, i'm not kidding.
the only reason to watch this movie is to think up all the ways it could have been a good movie.
some of the scenes seem like leftover cinematography from 1985.
the gangster plot it not satisfying and the relationship between the rent boy and his "American" friends is completely unrealistic and badly conceived. They know him for all of a week and suddenly they are helping him hide out after he tells them clearly that they have no idea what they are getting into. And instead of going down the conceivable plot line that the "American" husband is somehow interested in the rent boy (as the plot as been leading us to believe from the beginning) instead the highly effeminate prostitute finds his joy and redemption in the arms of the wife?!?!
This movie is truly bad and only good for a laugh. And the duck faced midget rent boy does indeed have a nice little body. But it hardly worth the pain of watching this movie or the expense of even renting it. Get a cheap thrill in better movies!

one of the best films i've ever seen
i started watching this movie with quite a deal of skepticism, because what i'd heard of the plot (male prostitute gets wrapped up in london's gang-land) sounded more like the plotline of a porno than a proper movie. but from the moment i started watching it, i was completely entranced. the plot and dialogue are extremely well written, the acting is superb, the editing, the music, everything was amazing. what i liked best about this movie was that it didn't succumb to any stereotypes. while the main character was gay, and did show quite a fair share of skin, but all the nudity (well... semi) was justified, and his homosexuality was not the center point of the movie or the character. and, unlike a good portion of gang-oriented movies out there, it portrayed the utter brutality of some of the characters without unneeded gore. i wish i could say more, but i don't want to ruin the plot for anyone. but, if you do watch this movie, be warned, it is a very heavy, very tragic movie, and there is no happy ending. content, maybe, but not happy.
