Triple Crossed

This movie is terrible. There are very few gay themed movies that I would recommend less then this one. Acting is awful, and many lines seem to be terribly improvised. The only saving grace is that there are a few nude scenes with very sexy men. Nothing you cant get by just watching a porn as the actors are gay porn stars. The worst character in the film is the woman. And the plot is so far fetched that nothing can be believed. I also don't understand why a guy who is supposed to be rich is driving around in a 1989 VW Jetta. Notice also that the main characters pathfinder has Honda badges all over it, weird.

Save your time. Don't watch this movie!

Quite frankly, I enjoyed this film. I've seen lots of gay oriented films, and most were a terminal bore.....written, directed and acted so poorly that I could barely get through them. Some viewers have had trouble with this one, but I think it has more to do with expectations than anything else. I went into it with low expectations, as a result, I was somewhat riveted at times. For a cheap film, it's well put together.....good story, some fine acting and directing.....kept me interested all the way through. In short, I liked it a lot. The two male leads are terrific, especially Jack Brockett, who plays Chris. He was always very believable, as the Gulf War vet. At times, early in the film, I said to myself, no he wouldn't do that, but by the end, the screenplay wrapped it all up nicely. I sure didn't see the ending coming, and that's saying a lot for a "B" movie. If all that weren't enough, the two leads certainly give us some fine eye candy along the way. I recommend the film, personally. ....and don't expect too much, people. It's really not bad at all.

I didn't think it was all that bad. It was a triple cross for sure but who was crossing who? It was a light-hearted movie, despite it being about assassination and greed, there was some fun to it. As long as you know it's not meant to be overly serious it should help you to see it in a different light.

Can I just start by saying, when is Jack Brockett gonna do some more stuff? That man is brutally hot, and he carried the movie with strong acting throughout.

As for the rest of the cast, they really try, and while the end product is more uncomfortable and awkward than anything, everyone has their moments. I went in with very, very low expectations, and I think that helped. I enjoyed the film despite the cheese and clumsy execution. Its heart is in the right place. I liked some of the concepts and ideas, but I feel like much of it was wasted on rushed scenes and an attempt to force in a twist. There was some potential in the story, even with the illogical elements, but the creators didn't seem to have the tools necessary to make it work. Not a budget issue, just an experience issue, I'm guessing. Like I said, they tried.

My biggest frustration is that this sort of theme is really rare in gay films, so you have to accept the lower quality stuff or go without entirely. I can't think of a single other gay thriller off the top of my head that doesn't just lead to misery. Typically you can have "uplifting/hopeful but cheesy and clunky" or "beautiful and high quality but bleak and tragic," and it gets old. Here's hoping things are truly changing in the genre.

Overall, you could find this movie entertaining if you go in with the understanding that it's akin to a student film where the director had to cast their friends. For me, a gorgeous, brooding man making out with another reasonably attractive dude with that theme of protectiveness/betrayal hanging over them was enough for me. I knew what I was getting into. If you do, too, then give this a shot. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

This is a low budget movie that is every bit second class as it can be, but it has a first class twist to the plot. It surprised me and changed my mind a little on this movie. Here's the set-up - rich bitch hires homeless ex-army dude to snuff out her now dead half brother's boyfriend. Why, because half brother left large inheritance to boyfriend and she wants it back.

You'll know what happens early on in the movie - ex-army dude falls for dead half brothers boyfriend (the guy he's suppose to snuff out). So if you decide to catch this cheap flick and you want to see a lot of California scenery and two hot dudes in bed getting it on, start from the beginning.

But if you want to see the good part of this flick skip the first hour and watch the last 30 or so minutes. Believe me you'll know exactly whats going on and you'll see the plot twist and understand it too. I never heard of Jack Brockett, or Sean Paul Lockhart and which is which I don't know but one of them did some fairly decent acting - considering this grade B movie!!
