Complete Strangers

I have seen almost all movies made for the gay audience, from low budget to the well-produced better quality movies. If a movie has a good script and a message to convey, a lower budget can be overcome. For this movie, it appears to have been fairly well-made. The trailer looked appealing enough and we gave it a change. For the first half of the movie we can several moments where we had to suspend disbelief and just go along with the journey. Surprisingly enough, despite the flaws, we were entertained. And the second half of the movie even surprised us, making us glad we stayed with it to the end. Will it win any awards? Unlikely. But was it suspenseful and worth a watch? Absolutely. Just turn of the thinking or logical part of your mind for a bit and enjoy a thrilling ride.

This could have been so great but the acting was very poor and because of this the writing, which wasn't the best, could have been so much more if the lines had been delivered better. The directing to be fair was good but this was overshadowed by the poor performances. It was sensual in places but even this was lost by the bad acting. I so wanted this to be more, it had so much potential to be a good thriller, or at the very least a good drama, but it was squandered by the bad casting. The annoying thing is that the main antagonist could have been so powerful and menacing but again the lacklustre writing let him down.

I understand where the director is coming from but the story is messy, the acting is slow, the lead actor is painful to watch and even the twist(s) at the end won't save the whole thing.

2 for the beautiful images of Budapest and its countryside.

Dragged me on a half REM snooze frst till the last 10mins. Thought I was watching a TV reality therapy session on purging my inner perverted kinks. I enjoyed how it messed with my logical mind trying to understand the motivation and plot. The ending was a great twist and surprise. That added a bonus star. Acting chop for the lead, Robert, was a 4 star. Pace was way too slow. He seemed sedated throughout the whole movie. It's unnatural. Turbo charge that lag with urgency and it'd scored a well deserved 7-8 stars. Hugo's part on the other hand was well played as the hot, exciting and sexually engaging predator.

Pau Maso aka the leading, writer & director cannot act...that was painful, emotionless and just plain boring. The film should have been way shorter and also more thought out...It had potential but it was somehow lost. Some of the scenes were just a huge NO, _no chesmitry _boring sex _none acting

On the other hand Matthew Crawley was ok.
