Product Description
From Amazon.com
Phillip Kirsch (hulking Ed Corbin) is having a bad day: he's a closeted undercover cop in Atlanta who has fallen for Oliver (Dane Ritter), a clean-cut male prostitute who is the prime suspect in a murder and narcotics case. What's a guy to do? Writer-director Ben Taylor's amusingly awful, deadly earnest drama would have us believe that, of course, Kirsch supplies an alibi for the troubled hunk and they both learn to love while dodging his superiors and the real killer. The laughable police practices here seem gleaned from bad TV--cops pass manila folders around and mutter things like "Good work, kid"--and the hustler bar where Oliver spends his evenings is even more of a hoot. Phillip is first smitten after watching Oliver sway awkwardly near the club's jukebox, a solitary tear running down his face. "Being in love," we are told, "is not much fun." There's not much flesh here, dammit, but there's a bit of accidental fun. On DVD, you can watch all this in letterbox format, with deluded commentary from Taylor himself. --Steve Wiecking

Touching,
By
This review is from: In the Flesh (DVD)
From the depths of gay films comes this story. The attraction is the human element, no not nudity but the emotions that come from being human. Great performances from both Dane Ritter and Ed Corbin. The awkwardness that come from realization in both characters is tangible and touching. Excellent soundtrack.A must see.

True to Life,
By Rightftj "Talk" (IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In the Flesh (DVD)
This tight budget indie film has great depth. It's true to life. The acting is great.Dane Ritter and Ed Corbin turn in spellbinding performances. Just because it isn't over-emotional or queeny, doesn't make it bad. Good writing, in large part, leaves the mechanics of sex to the imagination. The film was about life in the real world, not about effeminate theatricality. Some people overlook that and always opt for cliché. The writing was witty and minimalistic. I have seen this film several times and loved it each time. The soundtrack was awesome.
