I love Independant films... and I loved this movie. it was interesting, different! Robin Grange (Jon BonJovi) was excellent! I found myself loving him and hating him... he was sexy, mysterious, dangerous, manipulative and smart! he played every body and you can tell he enjoyed it! I loved seeing jon play the Hit Man! I say buy it!!!Movie Review: Made for the Role
Summary: 4 Stars
Nobody could have played THE LEADING MAN better than JON BON JOVI, this role was made for him - I'm sure of it. He was an absolute natural. I missed it at the movies and couldn't wait for it to come out on video. Thankfully there is a great story line, A husband having an affair, Jon offers to seduce the husbands wife to give him space to carry on with the "Leading Lady" - Hilary. Then the drama begins, eventually leading to surprising climax. I now own it on DVD and am happy to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon watching Jon seduce 2 women simultaneously (that's the drama part - he tries to bed Hilary also, which angers the cheating husband!!If you like the stage, Jon, and a bit of drama rolled into one this movie is for you. Added bonus Jon strutts around shirtless a few times.
Movie Review: Great Fun Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Mid-Life Crisis and the 15-Year Itch
Summary: 4 Stars
To find humor in another failed show biz marriage, truth in the mythic casting couch, and honor among gentlemen is the gist of "The Leading Man." While hired to seduce the wife of the play's author, Felix Webb, Jon Bon Jovi as studly actor Robin Grange nearly charms the panties off the wife and mistress, not to mention eager groupies, the play's supporting female cast, and the casting coordinator. Smooth and deliberate, Grange as Bon Jovi portrays him has a mercenary backstage approach to career advancement in the theater that make his backstage manipulations of women live up to the play's title, The Hit Man.Thandie Newton as Hillary Rule, the play's ingenue is a believable, gullible, forgiving other woman, and mistress-in-training. Elegant Anna Galiena, the wronged wife makes out like a bandit snagging Robin and recycling her unfaithful straying husband (Lambert Wilson) to the younger woman. For once, the older beautiful woman gets the younger delicious man. The supporting cast of David Warner, Patricia Hodge, and Diana Quick are wonderful, snide, and gossipy observers to the kiss and bed rehersals, the theater parties, and off-stage performances.
This film should receive more attention than it likely will, and when discovered, its audiences will return for encore after encore of solid acting and humor that it offers.
