The Gist:
A closeted married man has an encounter (i.e., hooks up) with a young gay man, the cowboy of the movie, and brings him back home to work as a handyman. While he's off at work, the young man and wife become friendly, which threatens to reveal dangerous secrets.
Comments:
I'll play nice and not reveal the details of the big secret of the movie other than to say that the secret was so obvious that by the the end of the movie it was not so much shocking as a relief the story was finally over. In other words the movie is unfortunately not really good.
The story is "whatever," the acting just ok, and overall the production was, well odd, but the question is if the oddness was intentional or not.
For example, the set up of a married man hiring a live-in handyman implies a large home, but instead of that there's a small cramped house on a busy street, which adds to the sense of desperation on the husbands part and the obliviousness of the wife as to what her husband is up to.
If deliberate it would be an interesting way to deal with characterization, but considering the poor quality of other aspects of the movie, it feels like the oddness was more than likely just an accident of budget constraints.
The best thing I can say about the movie is that at least the folks involved tried to make something interesting, it's just unfortunate that the basic story couldn't sustain a movie.
Women:
One, the wife, given that this is in essence a three person play, not as bad a ratio as it sounds.
People of color:
None.
Gratuitous nudity:
Yes, or no, depending on your definition of gratuitous nudity when it comes to sex scenes.
