DVD Reviews of Third Man Out
DVD Review: great detective drama with a twist
Summary: 4 Stars
This it the first of the Donald Strachey movies, based on a series of books and this was shown on Here! cable network. I do not have this channel and took a chance and bought it and was not disappointed at all. Chad Allen does a great job in his performance of Donald Strachey, "America's first gay detective" as the movie advertises. Sexual orientation aside, this film stands on it's own merits with a good story, good acting and good mystery. I love how the movie adds little pieces of humor throughout without losing it's edge of being a good mystery. The relationship between Chad Allen and his partner is also very tastefully done so that both gay and straight audiences can enjoy the film, but how great to see a gay detective who can do his job and be in a relationship. There's also a twist at the end that may or may not suprise the viewer. I will definitely purchase the next 2 of the series of movies after watching and enjoying this one.DVD Review: Mystery Lover
Summary: 5 Stars
Another in the series of good gay mysteries. The acting was very good and story line was great. We hope more of this series is produced.DVD Review: AN ENGAGING DETECTIVE STORY
Summary: 5 Stars
"Third Man Out" is an engaging detective story, the first DVD of a Richard Stevenson story about Donald Strachey, a partnered gay detective operating in Albany, New York. There's much engaging humor in the tale, including the incident where the ceiling literally falls in on a character who'd prefer to his gay escapades private. The acting is good, although Jack Wetherall'sharacter is a bit screechy. It's pleasing to know that the second DVD, "Shock to the System," is even better and that a third DVD in the series is on its way. Well worth a watch. DVD Review: a little shaky but overall wonderful
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this series of films so far. The acting is a little sub-par in a few places, but I am gobsmacked with the relationship between Donald and Timmy. I think they are lovely, witty and charming.
I really enjoy the idea that these films are about gay people but aren't about being gay. I appreciate that while they aren't scared to show romance and intimacy, they don't feel the need to be pornographic to do it.
I like Third Man Out, but I thought the next one was better. I definitely recommend this series.
DVD Review: Donald Strachey
Summary: 5 Stars
The first of the Donald Strachey series and I have to say, really great movie. Third Man Out introduces us to the First Gay Private Investigator Donald Strachey played by Chad Allen. A very moving and indepth story with many subplots all connecting to the major theme of this story. The cast was well picked with nice surprises. Enjoy this film and then check out Shock to The System.
