Movie Reviews of Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery
Movie Review: Plot glitches hurt plausibility
Summary: 3 Stars
This second gay-noir Strachey film has much of the wonderful style and archness of the first. This film is less successful than the first because of egregious plotting problems. One wishes to take the plot seriously, but a character who "cannot afford to be seen" with Strachey meets with him in the night in the middle of the street totally backlit. This is great for the camera, but is not how someone in hiding would do it. Of course, making a perfect target, a car tries to run them over. Much worse is when Strachey and a film student come under attack; the electric power goes off. In violation of any good sense, Strachey leaves the other guy to go into the hall, yelling, "Identify yourself" to the air, and allowing the other guy to get shot. Hasn't Strachey seen any movies? And, how many times does Strachey have to get into his car and have some one hiding in the back seat put a gun to his head? Cannot he learn to lock his car, and to look in the back seat before entering? This Strachey is too dumb to survive.
