Triple Crossed (2013) Reviews
porn acting, without the actual porn.
It took me 3 days to actually watch this whole movie. This should be a warning about how bad this is. I think they where all full with good intent, trying to make this a semi engaging thriller about a hit-man with a sordid past, but the God awful acting makes it a torture to watch. Sean Paul Lockhart keeps pursuing his "serious acting" career, after the whole porn past, but somehow, his acting skills still as convincing as they where in the porn industry. And that might be enough for you to break it in a 30 minutes scene, with lots of moaning and sexy faces... but if he wants to be taken seriously in the acting career, he might try to act a little more, and show a little less skin. There's nothing wrong with some nudity here and there, but is kinda silly to assume that its normal to walk around half naked most of the time. I wanted to resume the story, but there's actually not much to resume. They keep trying to make the plot more interesting, throwing in the most unconvincing drug addiction (I gotta say, that's one of the healthiest drug addicts I saw in a movie, for a long time) guns , swearing and the not so much occasional sex scene, but in the end is a big old cliché where the main character isn't what he seems to be and a sweet lovely guy who apparently nows how to give massages that cure PTSD and loves to have sex and snuggle even when being chased down by no apparent reason, with lots and lots of angry speeches and the dumbest ending EVER (I've put spoiler alert in the description, but I'm not sure this is actually a spoiler, or what it's possibly spoiling) There are lots of great indie movies. There are lots of great gay oriented movies. There are lots of great gay oriented indie movies... but this is not one of those.
One of the worst gay films out there
This movie is terrible. There are very few gay themed movies that I would recommend less then this one. Acting is awful, and many lines seem to be terribly improvised. The only saving grace is that there are a few nude scenes with very sexy men. Nothing you cant get by just watching a porn as the actors are gay porn stars. The worst character in the film is the woman. And the plot is so far fetched that nothing can be believed. I also don't understand why a guy who is supposed to be rich is driving around in a 1989 VW Jetta. Notice also that the main characters pathfinder has Honda badges all over it, weird. Save your time. Don't watch this movie!
If you're a fan of cheesy low budget films & scenes of male nudity...
This movie is no different from thousands of other low budget movies made in America. The scripts are poorly written as usual and the direction always looks like the same (toss up between a few) people taking turns directing them. I won't try to explain the plot because that's the part of reviews that I hate to read or hear about when I check out other reviews. Besides, someone from the film's production has already written a synopsis that anyone interested can read. It's a universal fact that most low budget movies, whether gay or straight are usually bad. The cast are usually all unknown first time actors or porn actor(s) in this film, continuously trying to make it in the mainstream movie business. Sean Paul Lockhart is the director as well as one of the stars of this film. He is a well known gay porn actor that has made a fortune performing in, producing and directing gay Adult films. He has also used a few different "stage" names for reasons that is best explained by people that have followed his (porn) career. If you're a fan of cheesy low budget films, Sean Paul Lockhart (aka) Brent Corrigan and a few scenes of male nudity; you'll love this film. I appreciated the beauty of the male nudity but I did not enjoy the poor dialogue, the story and the generic direction.
For type of film, surprisingly good
For a movie filmed with a relatively small purse, Mr. Lockhart's "Triple Crossed" was surprisingly good. These were the nice surprises, to my reckoning: First, unlike too many low-cost films I've seen before, the settings here were brightly lit. The scenes were not dull and fuzzy, but sharp and clear, even during night scenes with long shadows. Second, no mike boom slid into the picture frame, or any such A/V or technical blunders. So after a few minutes, I relaxed to enjoy the picture for what it was worth. If you are wanting "Oscar" material, then stay away. However, if you are looking for a suspense drama once in a while, to be amused and entertained, as I do, then you already know pretty much what to look for, and you may find this one is just as good as any other of that type--and better than many of them. Third, the plot was realistic; intrigues such as those dealt with here have been used in film before, and things like that do happen even in real life. Yet there are enough twists to keep one guessing about the outcome. Who will be "triple-crossed"? Fourth, the blocking was technically flawless, frankly. The camera seemed to catch the action meant to be caught, and the characters' positions did not clash with that. There were few, if any, fancy angles or such, nor were any needed for this film. Quite enough was going on in the story that such devices would have been lost here. Too bad though that the view of the valley had not been more panoramic. During the hiking scene, on the ridge, I wanted the camera to swing 180 degrees around to take in that gorgeous landscape of the valley! Fifth, the script was standard for this genre: no words of wisdom or memorable phrases. But therefore it also wasn't overwrought, too expository, or "preachy" (thank God!). Overall, I was entertained, and that was the whole point of watching it.
A nice, amusing and healthy movie towards a new healthy era.
Well, what can I say, I enjoyed this flick and I think the previous negative reviews were quite harsh on it. Okay, I see all its flaws and they are many, mainly (a) the female character which is totally absurd both as a role and the terrible way it was acted, and (b) the laughable ending. B-acting and B-writing all the way on those two items. But, those two points aside, the rest of the film was pretty decent in most aspects; production, direction, script, photography, it was all decent enough to watch easily, and sometimes it was really good -- minus the horrible sound management. So, I think Lockhart deserves some credit here, because telling a story decently is not a small achievement on such a low budget and little directing experience. I was not bored, not even for a minute. On the contrary, I was quite taken and amused on several moments, thanks to the warm romantic story and great chemistry of the couple. Their beauty didn't hurt either. Lockhart's acting was no surprise, he was his usual playful, spicy, sexy-cute, delicious self. His acting is okay, but not as controlled as it should be if he aims to a proper mainstream career. He has some serious studying to do on this craft before he gets to be as good as it takes for this purpose. He has potential and soul and charisma, and he certainly has something special about him that makes him very memorable and likable. But his acting needs work in order to get rid of his occasional shallow amateurish mannerisms -- which he obviously adopted during his glorious (but alas, poorly directed) pornstar days. But the other guy... Man, now THAT was a surprise. Because, in my humble opinion, Jack Brockett CAN ACT. He totally can act, and the way he went through this role was great. Seriously, the guy has huge potential, mind my words and remember his name. And he is very beautiful. Super hot body/movement (the boy can move) and a very expressive face, with stunning rare eyes; very intense and handsome face indeed. Anyway, that was an overall amusing film, and quite sweet and touching at moments, much better than e.g. "Judas Kiss" to my poor taste. I'm referring to Judas for comparison, because those two films are the only ones out of the numerous gay films I've seen which are supposed to be "gay themed" but they are actually not about gays AT ALL. Both films could have straight lead characters of any gender and still tell the exact same stories. Both films are not about homosexuality. They take the sexual status of the characters as a guilt-free/comment-free matter of fact, and they just tell a story about those persons. Congratulations to both film-makers, for really starting a new era on cinema: An era where random stories will include random gender/relationship combinations, just like e.g. nowadays people of all races and colors are randomly included into mainstream storytelling -- something unthinkable, say, 60 years ago. The goal is that in the near future no one will pay attention to any film protagonist's sexual orientation (unless the story particularly focuses on it). This is already happening with support characters in many mainstream movies. Well, it's about time it happens with the leads as well, and films like "Triple Crossed" make a definite step towards that direction. Such a healthy way to picture gays --without any misery, self-pity, bad endings, damnation--, such a relief. (FYI, I'm a straight woman.)
