Cast: David Sutcliffe, Antonio Sabato, Jr., Sonia Braga, Celina Font, Jennifer Coolidge Mysteriously and suddenly abandoned by the love of his life, an obsessed graphic novelist is determined to track him down in this fast-paced, impressively-acted romantic thriller from David Moreton (Edge of Seventeen). Hold on to your remote, the film features fleeting full-frontal nudity from Calvin Klein underwear model Antonio Sabato, Jr.
A successful comic book (or as he prefers, graphic novel) writer and illustrator, Dean (David Sutcliffe) falls into a creative funk after his Argentinean lover, Pablo (Antonio Sabato, Jr.), disappears after going to the store for cigarettes. With a scruffy stubble, piercing eyes and a flippant, "fuck all" attitude, the obsessive Dean decides to venture down to Buenos Aires in hopes of confronting his ex and hopefully bringing him back to his senses and Dean's bed. It proves to be more difficult than planned, as a confusing veil of secrecy, lies and intrigue confront him. It doesn't help that he can't speak Spanish (he can barely say gracias) or that Pablo's mother (Sonia Braga in a scene-stealing role) is an icy bitch who hates him or that the one person he trusts and who may hold answers, Sofia (Celina Font), proves to be just as duplicitous as the others. Even Marcos (Leonardo Brzezicki), Pablo's sex-crazed boyhood friend, is holding out.
Lost in the sprawling city, Sean's search soon involves the police, more than a few guns, loads of sex, a dead body or two and an unanticipated reunion. Sutcliffe is impressive as "a fag with a gun who needs a chainsaw" — he's masculine, 100% homo and single-mindedly determined to get back his love. A refreshing gay tale told with humor, intrigue, torrid sexual excitement: a hardened gay romance for the times.
