So, this murder mystery begins with a murder in full view of practically everyone in the room and on the street, but strangely enough, nobody seems to have seen what has just transpired in front of their eyes. The murderer gets away, and the sleuthing ensues. But the opening scene is exactly the basic tone set for this film that many (re)viewing the film seem to fail to hear due to the seemingly louder racial overtones.
In fact, it takes just one slight "turn of the screw" to see/hear things clearly. Let's take a look at this dialogue between the two male leads with slight attuning:
And so the cat's out of the closet ...that is: bag, and the two males who entered this murder mystery sleeping together ... in the same apartment, that is, now part glances and go each his own way only to be reunited again by Chris (Chris? Oh, yes! That We-thought-you-were-a-man-Chris!) who finally sees the right lead right in front of his ... her eyes and the murder mystery is solved! How? Well, had they looked what they had had laid out in front of them all the time they would've spared themselves much fuss. But it's how they all got wiser. In their own words:
And remember, these two males had had a sword fight along the way!

- (Joe:) I didn't want to hit you that way, Charlie. But it's not normal to keep my feelings bottled up. That's it. It's out. It hurts, and there's nothing I can do about it. ............ Say something! Blow your top! Belt me! You've got the right to belt me!
- (Charlie:) You mean you wanna marry C h r i s?
- (Joe:) You wouldn't have said it that way if I were s t r a i g h t!
- (Charlie:) What are you talking about?!
- (Joe:) Look at you! It's all over your face! /.../ The thought's made you sick to your stomach!

- (Joe:) I don't know how to tell you now how I feel.
- (Charlie:) You don't have to. It's all over your face. /.../ But as for you and me, Joe ... you know, I'm just as glad as you that you finally wrapped up your own case.
And remember, these two males had had a sword fight along the way!

Yes: again we are treated to a mess of histrionics, arm-flailings, neurotic marching to and fro, screaming, agonizing and despairing, with actors "method-acting" what the director must have been yelling at them at any random moment, like "Show me fear!" "Show me anger!" "Show me agony!" "Show me madness!" and what have you, resulting in a string of scenes coming from nowhere and going to no better end. We may discern some artistic and political topics of the day, but as is usual with such pretentious egotrips we mainly see that someone must have been primarily interested in sex scenes with the intention of ogling the nudity of the actress. Everything around that was just a smoke screen to feign "artistic motivation".
. Many reviewers praise the leading actress Valerie Kaprisky, but we mustn't overlook the fact that they are all males salivating over her onscreen full frontal and rear nudity. It may be high time that somene had pointed out that this actress is just plain ugly ... when you care to look higher from her breasts.

It's simply a crime to make a movie about Freddie Mercury and make him look like a man without qualities! It's not the actor Rami Malek, he's fine. It's not the rest of the cast, they're fine. It's not even the script as a plan in general - the plan to make a movie along these lines is also fine. It's the depiction of Freddie Mercury as a man who can only speak in one-liners, and slowly at that, a man who is just there in the room without any real presence, as if at a costume party where a princess arrives and maybe everyone wows at her costume, but in the room she has no more authority of a princess than on any average day (what else could you expect?). Thus Freddie Mercury in this movie just is and nothing much happens with or around him. That's atrocious! Freddie Mercury was a workaholic (partying included), a musical genius entirely devoted to music! Not a man without qualities who just is there not really knowing what to do! Such a sad waste!
