Movie Reviews of Testosterone
Movie Review: Quirky, fun, strangely sensual
Summary: 5 Stars
Testosterone was only very, very loosely based upon the novel of the same name, and if you are a died-in-the-wool James Robert Baker fan, you'll be somewhat disappointed by the differences. That said, the movie is excellent in its own right.
The characters are quirky and although the viewer doesn't truly realize it until the last moment, each and every one of them has his or her own agenda which is ruthlessly pursued throughout. You'll find yourself wanting to watch the movie again just so you can fit the actions into context once all is revealed.
The central character of the film, Dean, strikes one as a typical I-want-immediate-gratification-shallow-American who is glued to his American Express card (note to potential machete wielding jilted lovers: don't pay for your machete with your credit card) until near the end of the film. He doesn't seem to care how much he is disrupting the lives of those he encounters or how much he inconveniences them. Granted, he's love lorn and trying desperately to find Pablo, who he believes to be the love of his life that has been spirited away by his evil mama for purposes best known to her.
Finding a lost lover in a Spanish speaking country when you have problems ordering a beer there, tends to be problematic. You end up relying on the kindness of strangers. And Dean finds no shortage of strangers that are more than willing to help him. If they are, in fact, being kind is something you'll discover when you watch the movie.
The cast is generally attractive and there is a fair amount of appealing flesh on display, but you'll find yourself more interested in the intricate plot within a plot within a plot by the latter half of the movie. Forget the fraction-of-a-second full frontal of the undies model as a selling point. There is more, less contrived, nudity on offer, and frankly, you really won't care once you become enveloped by the film's tensions.
I won't go into the plot, because a great deal of the fun of the movie is watching it unfold. I will say that you should watch every last minute of it, even when you think it's over. There is a surprise at the end that will make you rethink a lot of what you thought you already knew.
Enjoy the movie!
Movie Review: mysterious and sexy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was one of the few (...) movies I've seen to portray accurately the madness associated with obsession and what obsession will drive a man to do.
David Sutcliffe is very (...), as is Leonardo Brzezicki, who is fantastic as the villain in this movie. Coolidge is very funny in a role that is completely new and different for this great actress.
I loved the ending, especially the final, really unexpected twist that solves the mystery that's been building the whole movie. It's beautifully shot and the acting is really terrific.
Kudos, and thanks, to the director for the great ride!
Movie Review: EXCELLENT film! Could watch it over and over!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what the reviewer "Gordon Larko" is smoking. For some eason, he feels compelled to leave the EXACT SAME horrible review and 1 STAR rating for all GAY-THEMED movies. Probably a "personal problem" of his. Hopefully this review will help correct this imbalance. I can't believe AMAZON is allowing this GAY BASHER to use their website as a venue to spread his hate.
By the way, This is an absolutely WONDERFUL movie!
Movie Review: Suprises always happen
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not know how the title of the film was born or what part of the story the title refers to. But the film is defenitely worth to watch. A story full of suprises, good solid action and nice pictures. The story is good an gets more interesting during the film. Some realy good suprises. The charakters are interesting and the actors have some mouthwatering looks. Good entertainment.Movie Review: if you have been burned
