07/10/2020 Jordan Brower is the central focus because of the emotional power he exudes in his every action. The script needed tightening, but the actors did a great job carrying this project through. It is deserving of greater acclaim than it received when released. See more 03/14/2012 This film made me cry. It's just brilliant and sweet. I love it! And JTT as a bisexual hustler? I'll bloody pay. See more 01/04/2012 I'll admit it, I only rented this DVD because Jonathan Taylor Thomas was in it, and I loved him when I was a kid. I couldn't picture him pulling off this role, and I expected a massive train wreck. Color me surprised! This is probably the best acting I've ever seen from him, and the movie as a whole is deep and emotional. I wish this film had gotten the attention it deserved. See more 04/14/2010 A Dickensian tale set in contemporary Las Vegas, with very spunky Jesse Bradford (also seen in all his naked torso glory in "Swimfan") trying to get his portion of the American dream, as in "rugged individualism and trampling on everybody gets you to the top" kind of ideology, but he is actually completely depending for survival on his newly adopted "family" of gay hustlers and former prostitutes. A sort of David Copperfield in the desert. Bleak and terribly tragic, but oh so slightly annoying by the cop out at the end. Terrific dialog though (via About Gay Movies): Steven: So, you completely straight or what? Johnny: Of course, yeah aren't you? Steven: Well, personally, I dig that but, but when it comes to work it is simply a matter of cash flow. Eric: See, Steven is bisexual. Buy him something and have sex. Steven: I'm a businessman, Johnny, the customer always 'comes' first Recommended. See more 01/30/2010 There were some good acting moments in this movie!! But the movie as a whole wasnt that good i thought! Jordan Brower did a great job, he was my favorite character! Such a sweet trusting loving person. Worth the watch for him. See more 10/01/2008 I liked this, but the ending is atrocious. Jordan Brower and Daryl Hannah are superb. See more Read all reviews
