This is the second Donald Strachey Mystery, and not a disappointment from the first {Third Man Out}. Chad Allen gives a great performance as Donald trying to solve the murder that nobody beleives happened and get through his life and doubts {that the case has created}. It shouldn't be tagged 'Gay' because it is just a murder mystery that has gay characters and clues {leads}. If you like mysteries - Watch it. If you would like a view through a window into what gay men face from society and what they really want to get out of it - Watch it.
June 27, 2008 |  | Great Detective Movie- Bonus is he is cute and gay! |  |
I had not seen this before buying so was hesitant, but this is really a very good detective based mystery. Granted it is not a huge budget big screen oscar contender, but very well acted and a good story line. Like in a lot of movies there are some performances that are just not fleshed out or believable and this movie is no exception. Good news is that the main characters performances are all good reasons for buying the movie. Chad Allen is very easy on the eyes and also gives a top rate performance and proves to be every bit the leading man. ( I just wished costuming would get suits that fit him better) It was good to see Morgan Fairchild, and she still looks phenominal. I liked this movie so well, that I went and purchased the other movie in the series of Donald Strachey Mysteries, Third Man Out, this also was as good or better. I am now hooked an looking for more movies based on the series of books.
April 7, 2008better than the first one (which I loved too). The acting has improved for the most part. Donald & Timmy are totally charming. I highly recommend these movies.
March 6, 2008 | | Above Average Gay TV Movie | |
This movie opens like a senior project in the Film & TV Department at a pretty good college.
Fortunately, thanks primarily to very competent acting it improves to the level of an above average TV movie (tho not on Showtime or HBO) with a gay hero. The suspense is pretty good, the plot not especially predictable, and the pacing quite effective.
It gets three stars because there's no 2.5 on the scale.
January 19, 2008Chad Allen gives a great performance in this movie. The plot of the story and just all around theme is definitely one that keeps you tied to the screen as it all unfolds. Highly recommended for Chad Allen fans. Morgan Fairchild had a decent role, but not the front person of the story but definitely pulls off the role of the type of person we all may know. Overall, the movie is great and definitely is a great buy!
