this was depressing

reading the description u don't really get the magnitude of the plot - watching this, i straight off thought about the movie The Resident (2011) with Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. as there also Hilary's character is drudged and raped by her landlord - and it turns pretty fast into a psychological, horror movie.

so kinda got what this was gonna be - considering Franco isn't a maintenance man - he was a rent-boy that was fixated on Brent, so much so he found out where he was living and started stalking him - that's not as mildly put or heck even romantically up in the description. and when luck had it - a maintenance man's position opened in Brent's building, so of course Franco jump's at the chance to be "close" to his idol.
add to the mix his best friend Tiger who also works as a rent-boy, but has now found a new way of making a living without "working his ass off" by drugging his client's and robbing them - and as things logical follow Franco isn't satisfied by just watching Brent from a far - not when he got this new handy drug at hand, and u can only image how things "go down" - to say this was surreal and scary - yup

there is also a lot of nudedity - as in U See Everything and there r erotic(?) bedroom scenes, so if that's bothers u might as well skip - if the description in my review hasn't turned u off XD LOL

this is a sad film on many counts, the fact that these boys have to sell their bodies - who knows from what age and how badly they r treated, let alone how this messes with their heads. cause i don't believe anyone normal - well leading a normal life, would get up to the things Franco did (even though saying this, i know that sometimes even from "normal" f*cked up sh*t can arise...) and yet his actions were a desperate need to be with the one he loved. i don't think it was just about the sex. even though he kinda turned his "crush" into a sex-doll.. long story short, this was all kind's of messed-up and there aint no happy ending for anyone in this movie -
