    For a gay movie, this has excellent production values. The acting isn't the greatest, but it's acceptable enough not to distract from the movie as a whole. Great plot revolves around getting caught up in drug use at circuit parties and paying the consequences for it - and it's very accurate. Hot guys and the biggest surprises - Paul Lekakis and Kiersten Warren (pre-Desperate Housewives).

    I recently watched this film, and to ber honest, it could have been a 5 star one. However , it had too many subplots going and not enough character development, except for Hector. Speaking of him, Andre Khabbazi, the actor had the acting chops of at least a B+ actor and it's weird, this is the only film he appeared in! Wonder why? He is at least A list, as far as 'presence is concerned. He's 36 now so it shouldn't be too late for some film director to contact him for another. (Such are the fortunes of Hollywood!)
