Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama

Feat. Andy Garcia, Mick Jagger, James Coburn, Julianne Margulies

Aroview: The suave Andy Garcia plays a writer between books who is enticed into a well-paying gigolo operation by Mephistophelian entrepreneur Mick Jagger.

Not unthoughtful in its treatment of Garcia’s subsequent infidelity to wife Marguiles and other moral snags, but ultimately lacking a follow-through to the gritty premise. Despite fudging the issues, this well crafted drama is quite watchable for its cast alone.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) If there was a lead performer with a bit more life this would have helped the screenplay. However, there is talent in the three female performers led by Olivia Williams, and Jagger and Coburn could never be boring. ~Tubbs
