Movie Reviews of Third Man Out
Movie Review: Good story - poor acting
Summary: 4 Stars
I never read the novel, but it seems as if the story could be sort of interesting. The bad thing is that the acting in this movie is mostly poort. Chad Allen is by far the best actor in the group, but it just seems so "Murder She Wrote" at times that you just have to laugh at how the actors deliver their lines.Movie Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars
It was a pleasure to see a gay Character in a non-traditional role, who did so well. They kept the skip real and included everyday aspects of a e relationsghip; the being together, the looking out for each other, you name it. Great Movie PLease see it.Movie Review: Good story line.
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the story line. Didn't show a gay man in the sterotypical role. We need more movies that show us as normal gay couples. I really liked the movie, good drama but could have been better if Hollywood would put more money into movies like this.Movie Review: Loved the movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Summary: 3 Stars
I LOVE murder mysteries - and this is a nice example of a competent piece of work and an enjoyable mystery to watch.
I LOVE gay-themed movies that show being gay is normal. And for that I liked this film, but it's not the only reason. Good acting, good story, believable relationship portrayal. Is this more believable because Chad Allen is GAY? Could be - whatever it is this is a good watch.
I did like Chad Allen in this - he played it straight (not in the sense of denying he was gay), showing being married to the same sex is ok (which it damned well is), and you do all the normal stuff like renovating your home and loving your partner, openly dining in a nice restaurant and (horrors) dancing with them on the dance floor in public actually touching and looking like you are loving it.
The atmosphere created within the movie with lighting and the story treatment reminds me of the old detective movies - and this is done deliberately. It has the feel of a 1940's detective story - with old fashioned foot work, fists at midnight (and all the other hours of the day) and quirky. The modern touch is added with the introduction of the male partner instead of the female moll. Loving it, I really am.
If I am going to criticise - the ending of the detective story part was weak for me. It annoyed me quite frankly. But hey, that is just a small part of the satisfying whole. The ending of the movie is like a satisfied sigh.
This is part of a series and the next one "Shock to the System" develops the characters and the storyline improves. In the next one you get to see the relationship mature, both the on-screen portrayal AND the obvious compatability of the main characters. Well worth a watch - I pull it out when there is nothing else I want to see...it satisfies, so does "Shock to the System".
It is proving to be a nice series, and worth spending the time exploring.
