Charles Ealy Dallas Morning News It's clear that director Rodrigues has a future as a provocateur. But you may want to decide whether to spend an evening being provoked -- and possibly perplexed. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Rated: C Oct 23, 2003 Full Review Michael Booth Denver Post Often looks like explicit gay pornography thinly disguised as high art. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press The gay audience you'd expect the movie to pander to will likely be dismayed by its depraved view of homosexuality. Rated: 1/4 Sep 11, 2003 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com There's this gay garbageman who roams the city at night in a black rubber catsuit and searches out dangerous anonymous sexual encounters. Would you care to invest? Rated: 3/5 Apr 21, 2004 Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com The film may be provocative, but it's also maddening... In the end, the audience is left with a great big WHY? Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 24, 2003 Full Review Greg Muskewitz eFilmCritic.com Like the central figure, the structurelessness of plot and direction, lead directly into obscurity. Rated: F Jul 10, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This film was crude and extremely baffling. There was very limited structure that lead to confusion throughout. Poor levels of performance and inadequate dialog made this movie both disappointing and empty, leaving me unfulfilled to say the least. The characters quite simply had "no character". At the end of this movie I was left perplexed and very confused. The closing scene left me wondering what has just happened and why, how it links to the beginning and other scenes of the movie and has no closure or link for a sequel. I would probably have to watch this movie three times to grasp it, which I will not be doing as I will probably fall asleep if I try and watch it again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member What the F is this film all about, I understand it's an art house film, but to me it seems like a soft core porn. (Due to the excessive nudity and sex scenes minus dialogue) Sex is well explored in the film, but it could have been done better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring and just plain bad..... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It has a ridiculous plot that doesn't lead to anything special. The hot guy in it makes up for it with his nude scenes. This movie is hard to find and out of print on DVD. If you find it then definately watch it because of the hot guy! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Abstoßend, geil, radikal - und ziemlich gut Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Sin ningún contexto, sin pies ni cabeza una historia sobre un guapo recolector de basura que anda "loco" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
