Movie Reviews of Third Man Out
Movie Review: great detective drama with a twist
Summary: 4 Stars
This it the first of the Donald Strachey movies, based on a series of books and this was shown on Here! cable network. I do not have this channel and took a chance and bought it and was not disappointed at all. Chad Allen does a great job in his performance of Donald Strachey, "America's first gay detective" as the movie advertises. Sexual orientation aside, this film stands on it's own merits with a good story, good acting and good mystery. I love how the movie adds little pieces of humor throughout without losing it's edge of being a good mystery. The relationship between Chad Allen and his partner is also very tastefully done so that both gay and straight audiences can enjoy the film, but how great to see a gay detective who can do his job and be in a relationship. There's also a twist at the end that may or may not suprise the viewer. I will definitely purchase the next 2 of the series of movies after watching and enjoying this one.Movie Review: More Strachey Please!

The Donald Strachey Mysteries
æ Third Man Out
æ Shock to the System
æ On the Other Hand Death
A Gay Detective? Yes I was a bit apprehensive; however I soon discovered a cleaver story with likable characters, Martinis and an almost Columbo style detective show with a gay edge and Full Frontal Nudity (what more do you need). These Movies were Fun, Intriguing, Heartwarming, Suspenseful and Humorous, with a Showering of Eye Candy and Fabulous Guest Stars. We Want More Strachey Mysteries¡Kit¡¦s a fun Friday Night After Work Movie.
Movie Review: a little shaky but overall wonderful
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this series of films so far. The acting is a little sub-par in a few places, but I am gobsmacked with the relationship between Donald and Timmy. I think they are lovely, witty and charming.
I really enjoy the idea that these films are about gay people but aren't about being gay. I appreciate that while they aren't scared to show romance and intimacy, they don't feel the need to be pornographic to do it.
I like Third Man Out, but I thought the next one was better. I definitely recommend this series.
Movie Review: Good job
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie comes close in spirit to the book. I thoroughly enjoy Stevenson's books and I'm glad to see that there seems to be a series going here. Even though Strachey is different in my mind from the portayal in the movie, I enjoyed the different interpretation. Jack Wetherall is wonderful and the radical outer and Sebastian Spence is perfect as Timothy. There are plot variations but overall this is a good tribute to the essence of the book. More of that Stevenson repartee, please, as time goes on.Movie Review: Same Gender Scam Affairs
Summary: 4 Stars
A good idea, a twisted script and not so bad performing of a detective story with same gender affair context are all-in-one while a private detective reluctantly protects activist black-mailing an entire world and his own protector mercilessly.
Perhaps, this work very notion is pointing at psycho-mental grounds of over-activism regardless good intentions one could imagine for.
