Critics Consensus

Testosterone is a poorly executed attempt at film noir that follows good-looking yet bland characters through an ultimately aimless plot.

Moreton shows plenty of ambition in his second feature, but somewhere in the space between page and screen, he lost the thread.

1.5/4

Filled with pretty faces and empty logic, David Moreton's noir-wannabe Testosterone flounders about, doing everything but flutter its eyelashes in an attempt to distract us from its lack of substance.

The movie's primary interest seems to be in following several good-looking men wherever they care to meander.

** (out of four) Dean (David Sutcliffe) is thrown into confusion when his lover (Antonio Sabato Jr) goes oyt for some cigarettes and never returns. Dean turns depressed and is unable to handle his everyday life. Trying to bring some closure, he sets off for Argentina, hoping to find his lover and find out what really happened. Fair acting. Fair dialogue. Nothing overly memorable here.

David Sutcliffe gives a good performance and Braga is wonderfully ice cold but the picture drags and makes little sense.

Really loved the ending. The rest of the movie... not so much

Apart from some hot lovemaking scenes, this film was not so good. Could have been an interesting movie given the plot and characters but . . . . it sucked.
