    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    This movie wasted tooo much time on other subjects. It should of made the storyline with the two guys a lot more intense and interesting. Instead - yawwwwwwn city. Who cared about the slacker boys and girls getting high in what looked like a garage. Or the relationship between that girl and Shayne.

    This movie could have been a whole lot better.

    Pretty dull

    Story about handsome hunky Lincoln (Shayne Gray) who has a girlfriend and lots of great guy friends. He also likes having anonymous gay sex secretly. He meets John (Thang Chan) a Vietnamese gay guy--and things happen. Notice I didn't say interesting cause NOTHING interesting happens in this!

    Slow, murky, dark and very uninteresting story about a destructive relationship. The low production values really hurt this. Also the story takes forever to get started...and ends up going nowhere! It just stops with no resolution at all. A lot of people seem to like this because Gray is so handsome. He IS handsome...but not much of an actor. I've seen worse but I've seen MUCH better. Chan was better than Gray but (understandably) seems unsure of how to play the character. Pretty dull too.

    Slow, murky, unsatisfying. You can skip this one. I give it a 4...mostly for Gray's looks. Also why did Chan do a nude scene and Gray didn't?

    Interesting, but ends prematurely

    I was into the movie as I watched it, all the while wondering where it was going. When it ended, I thought I had skipped about 30 minutes ahead, because it just seemed unfinished.

    I thought the lead actor, Shayne Gray, was excellent in the part. I thought he was so natural and acted without any bit of effort. His responses, his actions, his emotions, all were very natural. I was sorry to see that this was the only film he's been in. I would very much liked to have seen him in other films.

    This film was interesting, but after seeing it through to the end, there was no point to it, I'm sorry to say. I wanted to know more about where each character was going to go, but since the film is 11 years old now, there's no way that's going to happen. Worth seeing, but just be prepared that it's going to end just as it gets interesting.

    nice

    The temptation is to write about obvious good intentions. Shayne Gray is just cute and this seems be the basic virtue offered to his character .

    Thang Chan performance is the basic good point of film, presenting, sure, with a good fist of ciches, the reaistic image of allianation.

    The probem, maybe the first part, we intentioned , ooking for suggest the struggle of Lincoln with his sexuality but, unfortunately, too ong and pretty boring.

    In short, just a familiar indie recipe, not different by another, proposing faces of loneliness and reminding social traumas in fair manner.

    The end is so predictable than just works as nice confirmation of what you suppose.

    So, a nice film . Sure, for a precise target.

    Vietnamese here!

    OMG i can't believe this John guy he talk an Engrish that i can clearly understand, and he look and act exactly like my gay friends in here, in Vietnam, the director did so good about that, i'm so glad to see a Vietnamese in a gay film, we did make some gay films here too but it too little... about this film, i can tell that why things happened in this film, prob it not a love story, just another lonely and sad one that make me feel so bad, it good itseft, but it just so.... realistic.
