Starts Slow But Gets Better

I think it's best to preface this movie by saying the dialogue is not very good and it starts kinda bad. But it gets much better and Chad Connell is hot enough that you could watch it with the sound off and it would still be worth watching. He is actually quite good with the little dialogue he is given. I kept feeling like there is no way this super hot guy with a model face and body is going to get into it with a dude. But he does and his body is as beautiful as his face. I am here to tell you, I have yet to see a more attractive (and masculine) male lead in any gay love story. Let's just say the film is a 6 or 7 but Chad is a 10. Or an 11? The music is way too loud and was mixed poorly, but it's pretty. There is not a gay man alive who won't be thinking about him long after the movie ends.

Gay-themed psychological drama

I found the film to be somewhat of a psychological mystery, quite good and not what I expected. I had not read any reviews/story line synopsis beforehand, but only had watched the trailer. So, I was not aware of a major aspect of the story line which played out at the end as an unusual, but intriguing twist for me.

The main character Daniel, played by Chad Connell, appeared to be a damaged individual with heavy childhood guilt. He is attractive, has a successful career, but is emotionally stunted. A few of the scenes, whether directed as so, appeared a little awkward, but overall I was impressed with much of Chad Connell's portrayal. One other aspect of the film was that I thought some of the music reminded me of a bygone era and didn't sit right with me. I just thought different music might have been better.

If you are not seeking an action-oriented film, but more of a character study with eye candy, then I would recommend this film as most gay- themed films have vapid characters and unimaginative plots.
