    Honest Review: Please Read (Spoiler Free)

    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.

    Complete waste of time

    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.

    Crawley steals the show

    The movie does not deserve some of the bad ratings it is getting. Yes, some of the line delivery is a bit off and the script could have used a bit of a rework when it comes to the dialog, but overall this is a pretty good movie. The director should have stuck to directing and passed the lead off to another but Crawley did a hell of a job as his character. Disturbing, alluring, and disturbing again are thr best way to describe his character. Definitely worth a watch! IMHO

    Seductive & Mental

    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.

    Appallingly Acted

    Regardless of strength of story, the lead actor is excruciatingly difficult to watch. He's flat and just not good. The pitch of his voice also had me itching to turn the movie off.

    As for the story...eh? As others have mentioned, it has a really big twist at the end. Is the twist good enough to justify watching the movie? I guess if you're not paying for it and you can get past the poor performance of the lead. Then sure. Overall though, the story is weak, Hugo abusive, and the lead pathetic.
