11/02/2021 Loved it!! Must see movie! See more 11/24/2020 One of my favorite movies. What red blooded American boy wouldn't want to work at an escort service and live in pasadena? See more Frances H 08/08/2014 I found this film intriguing, even though the critics thought it wasn't "compelling or plausible" it certainly kept my interest, and I liked the ending. See more 10/13/2013 Literate film with great performances drags during the second half. See more 02/14/2013 This drama has a solid plot, but suffers from pacing just a bit too slow. Mick Jagger is charismatic and believable as Luther Fox, but Andy Garcia has more difficulty as the lead, especially when compared to Jagger. See more 12/28/2012 I watched this movie with low expectations (having never heard of it), and finished satisfied. A unique film, I enjoyed the performance of Andy Garcia. It was a nice change to see a singer like Mick Jagger on the screen playing the role with talent. See more Read all reviews
