| IN THE FLESH This gripping Atlanta-made police drama centers around the unlikely relationship between a young sweet looking but tough talking male hustler and a ruggedly handsome vice cop. Detective Philip Kirsch (Ed Corbin), a closeted Dolph Lungren-sized hunk, is reluctantly assigned to go undercover to infiltrate a drug ring possibly operating out of a gay bar. While staking out Blue Boy, a seedy hustler bar, he meets and is attracted to Oliver (Dane Ritter), a handsome but aloof prostitute. The cop quickly becomes obsessed with the young man – and learns that the 21-year-old also leads a double life: that of a middle class college student who helps his family through hustling at night. Their nascent relationship becomes strained when a murder points to Oliver as the prime suspect resulting in secretive worlds being exposed, and forcing them to learn how to trust one another. An unusual thriller/love story infused with interesting characters from the attractive leads to the suspicious bartender, catty rent boys and an older cop who has seen it all. Although low budget with some wooden acting the character development is strong and the film is quite appealing. |
