I really liked the firsr one, but this was even better. The production values are really good.Chad Allen has such varied and wonderful facial expressions. he and his lover play off of each other in ways that seem completely natural, and the kind of relationships most gay men dream about.

This was another really great movie. I loved the twists and the surprises. I thought I had it figured out until the very end. Chad Allen and Sebastian Spence really are believable as gay lovers. I really loved their relationship. I recommended the first movie, Third Man Out, and I will do the same with this movie. I sure hope they make more in the series. Maybe I will go out and buy the books, you never know.

I really liked Third Man Out, the first of the Donald Strachey, P.I. mysteries. Shock to the System was even better. I hope to be able to watch many more of these.

All I can say is that I was definitely sad when the movie ended because there are no more movies about Detective Streachy. He's like our own little gay Dirty Harry. If you have seen Third Man Out then you must see this one!!! Hopefully, they can turn this into a series and we'll get to see more stories.

The first gay detective movie with these actors was called "Third Man Out". I rated it 2 stars. This movie is better, so I gave it 3 stars. It was more serious...more like a murder/mystery. The acting was better...more believable. It kept you wondering "who dunnit". The ending was a little Hollywood-ish. But it was more professional than the first movie. I'll be honest...the cops and robbers genre really bores me. I'm glad I rented it, and I wouldn't consider buying it. It's just not good enough to buy.

I am a big fan of suspense and mystery as well as enjoying gay themed movies. It was great to see a movie that had both. It was a good book first and the movie was great as well.

I was dissappointed. I guess by the other reviews I was expecting more suspense. Their were too many explicit sex scenes for my husband and I. I thought Chad Allen's acting was excellent though.

Not sure why this got good reviews. I couldn't get through it, basically I wanted to puke. Why in a crime thriller with a gay detective do they need to throw in your face gay scenes? Men making out, a male-male BJ scene at the beginning. Not sure about the rest of the movie but I'm sure there is more. If this is what you are into I guess this movie is for you.
