Mark B.

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.
