this movie doesn't leave your mind.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2006)

first of all, I'm gay and originally from the west ( arizona). the two actors esp heath really tunes in on the mentally of the rural western male. do not show emotion or let others know about you. it reminded me of my first boyfriends father and brother. all 4 actors were amazing. the soundtrack was amazing. I'm going to comment on a few of the countrys opinions and questions on the film. 1. how did jake die.-the tire iron, if you read the short story or see the trailer. he was definitely killed by the 3 men. in the trailer there's a scene that shows a mechanics face and a guy behind him with a tire iron. it was cut out of the film. and the 3 killers names are in the credits as "killer mechanic' "grease monkey" and "assailant" 2. the sex scenes- this is mild compared to what we gay folks have had to watch on the screen in str8 films for YEARS!!!. 3. "its too slow"- if you want to see an action film - go to King Kong!!! 4. "they cheat on their wives"-its the 60s and 70s, being gay meant you either were killed or had to move to NYC-and these guys had no money or skills to move to a big city. 5.its sickening!-then don't go see it, go see something really dumb like a jet li or van diesal film. in summary its a wonderful film that shows how homophobia ruins the lives of those str8 and gay, how it can prevent people from being together and telling the truth about themselves before its too late. 5.
