  1. At once a sexy soap opera, at times lurid and bathetic, and also a gritty cautionary tale made by a filmmaker honest enough to have it both ways.
  2. Reviewed by: Robert Koehler
    All-encompassing drama.
  3. When Circuit is on its game it's very telling and where it's at its best is detailing just how difficult it is for men so hedonistically self-involved to love one another.
  4. 50
    Shafer (himself a former Playgirl centerfold) never quite manages the incisive social critique his story seems to require.
  5. 40
    Mostly, Shafer and co-writer Gregory Hinton lack a strong-minded viewpoint, or a sense of humor, about a world in which the DJ has the power to unify, if only for a night, men of godlike beauty and the mortals who worship them.
  6. 40
    As slick and attractive as its cast. But the movie gets away from Shafer.
  7. 10
    Even from deep in a K-hole, you'd need about 10 seconds to figure out the remaining plot twists in this jaded muscle-queen morality tale.

    Not much of a plot here, just a gay excuse to string together a bunch of soft porn and drugs into an pointless story that is not even interesting. Badly directed, the acting is fair at best. Expand
