I give this movie a 5 because it is watchable. There are certain scenes that both repel and fascinate. Watching the guy skin the alligator was too much for this viewer, too graphic and detailed. Somewhere there was the essence of a good movie. But some things stand out as odd. This is not the first film I have seen with Ryan being held prisoner and tortured and beaten. When the "gay" part came up it seemed odd that it hadn't figured in the scenes of him going to the bathroom. Wouldn't the "Junior" character have said "I can't untie you, I'll have to unzip your pants and hold you stuff"? Which would have allowed a nice shot of Ryan's junk and not just his backside later in the movie. Ryan seems to think that a homo would only be interested in intercourse with his backside, -admittedly very pleasant to look at, and quite courageous I guess to put it on display in such a fashion.
I found the role of the older kidnapper difficult, it just seemed too much of a caricature, seen in too many films.
probably not the actor's fault but my feeling was "If you've seen one ,you've seen them all".
Ryan certainly looks good for his age.
I have no idea what the final sequence was about... was he thinking "I wish that me and junior had got it on...", or "it wasn't all bad..."
I dunno, not a bad film, but not good. Maybe Ryan's next effort will be better.
PS" my use of the words "intercourse" "stuff" and "backside" were forced because the review site would not accept the more "real' words I used.
