DVD Reviews of In the Flesh
DVD Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gotta disagree with the idea that viewers might find this film only fair. *I* found it to be VASTLY superior to most other "real" movies produced for the GLBT audience.
It was well written, cinematographically excellent and the performances of Dane Ritter and Ed Corbin were both human and honest, without resorting to sensationalist sex/nudity. And THAT, to me, is what great film-making is all about!
The story kept me going through the whole movie.
DVD Review: Bad but good
Summary: 1 Stars
Other reviewers summed up the plot, hustler rides with a trick to a atm, trick goes out to withdraw money, man comes along and stabs the man to death. Hustler drives tricks car away, and leaves car, and fingerprints for the police to trace. Now the hustler is a suspect. Now why didn't he report it??? Because he didn't want the police to know he was a hustler, and providing drugs to his chemically dependant strung out sister. He eventually falls in love with an undercover cop, and they go off into the sunset together, after a few interesting moments. The cop (corbin) has these eyes, that widen like he is in a hypnotic trance. Lots of scenes of men in a gay bar, and the ones hanging on the streets, look like they are all on queludes. This movie is awful, but at the same time, not too bad. DVD Review: I LIKED IT
Summary: 4 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
In the Flesh was not in the Flesh...but the guys were hot.DVD Review: A fresh breath from the average gay movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Atlanta. Cops. Drugs. Murder. Sex. Accusations. Hustling. Double lives. Sound familiar? Now add gay love between the cop and the hustler. Sound familiar? Didn't think so.
In the Flesh takes on quite a task, and it does so well. Oliver (Dane Ritter) is the sexiest guy working the hustler bar. He's 21, he's a full-time student, he comes from money, he has the looks....and he's been using them, every night, for years. Then one night, life gets quite a bit more complicated. First, he catches the eye of an older man, Philip (Ed Corbin). Little does he know, Philip is an undercover cop trying to bust the place for drugs. Turns out, however, drugs take a back seat to
attraction, and Mr. Cop develops quite the interest in Mr. Sex Worker. Needless to say, the disaster has only begun. Soon thereafter, Oliver becomes a suspect in a murder case when one of his regulars dies in a car wreck. What ensues is an extremely difficult series of decisions for everyone -- does Philip trust Oliver? Does Oliver trust Philip? When does a trick become a life-changing partner? Can they both dig themselves out? Why did all this happen?
I'm not going to say that In the Flesh is the best movie I've ever seen, but it's definitely good. It's unique, intense, at times entertaining, certainily thought-provoking, and overall, a fresh breath from the average gay movie.
Description of In the Flesh
A clean-cut 21-year-old guy leads a double life student by day and street hustler by night. When he meets an undercover cop working atlantas drug enforcement branch secrets collide. Their fragile trust is shaken when he becomes the prime suspect in a murder case & the detective becomes his only alibi. Studio: Wolfe Video Release Date: 08/22/2000 Starring: Dane Ritter Adrian Roberts Run time: 105 minutes Rating: NrPhillip Kirsch (hulking Ed Corbin) is having a bad day: he's a closeted undercover cop in Atlanta who has fallen for Oliver (Dane Ritter), a clean-cut male prostitute who is the prime suspect in a murder and narcotics case. What's a guy to do? Writer-director Ben Taylor's amusingly awful, deadly earnest drama would have us believe that, of course, Kirsch supplies an alibi for the troubled hunk and they both learn to love while dodging his superiors and the real killer. The laughable police practices here seem gleaned from bad TV--cops pass manila folders around and mutter things like "Good work, kid"--and the hustler bar where Oliver spends his evenings is even more of a hoot. Phillip is first smitten after watching Oliver sway awkwardly near the club's jukebox, a solitary tear running down his face. "Being in love," we are told, "is not much fun." There's not much flesh here, dammit, but there's a bit of accidental fun. On DVD, you can watch all this in letterbox format, with deluded commentary from Taylor himself. --Steve Wiecking
