Sexual thriller with Al Pacino as a young cop who must go undercover as a gay 'cruiser' in New York City. There's a homicidal homophobe on the streets, brutally killing gay men, and it's up to Pacino to stop him. Shot on location in several gay bars of the era.
Viewer Reviews
Yeah...An ignorant person may assume that this movie represants ALL gays, and not just a small section. And to an even more ignorant person, it would correlant rough sex with murder and violence. But to people with half a brain, it is about a serial killer in an setting that most people don't find themselves in. Is that any different than a movie about a far away place or time, say the 1800's with Jack the Ripper, perhaps?
There are 2 reasons why I consider this a "great movie". 1) Movies are consider an "art form". And art is supposed create a reaction and stir up emotion. Ideally, even inspire behavior or action. This movie certainly does that. 2) Good art, or a good movie, should be provactive, and leave you thinking about it and feeling something about the people in it afterwards. And again, I think this movie does that. One is to wonder, "Did they get the right killer? If so, who killed the neighbor? Is that death just a sign that there will always be a new killer to go after? Or did Al Pacino's charactor kill him? If so, was it based out of his own frustrations of what he went through?" Also, I think the movie cannot help to make you wonder about a part of our culture that you may not have thought about before, and your own views about your own interests on some level.
Isn't that what art is supposed to do? Make you feel and think?
