Rating: - Danger.....
An ugly film that underscores the devolution and depravity of societies where the capitalist ethos of dog eats dog is the norm. In a land where the rich get greedier as the poor get desperate, where they shove their children into cauldrons like Vietnam and Iraq and pollute the environment until the climate goes into a tailspin, mass murderers and serial killers fit right in.
I watched about half the film looking for some condemnation or warning, but judgments were left to the viewer, and that's not smart in a society like ours.

"FRISK"
A Missed Opportunity
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
The controversial novel, "Frisk" (Strand Releasing) about gay sadomasochism has been turned into an effective, but pointless, movie which revolves around two long friends, Dennis and Julian. They have different attitudes about sex, pain, and pleasure. "Frisk" attempts to look at pornography and imagery and how it fuels these two guys. Dennis has been attracted to `snuff" magazines and he gets together with masochistic Henry who likes to be bloodied while having sex.

Rating: - It gave me nightmares
It was umm...interesting. If it was the movie's goal to scar me psychologically, mission accomplished. I've seen some freaky horror movies but this one is up there with the most disturbing.
Rating: - Very intense
This movie is very intense to watch. I orginally got this movie was to see what all of the "hipe" was about when it was released. I am very glad that I did purchase it because it was one of the first movies to come out that didn't revolve around the AIDS issue. When you are gay, you don't have to hear about it everywhere you turn. It becomes part of our lives.
Rating: - I remember laughing a lot
It's been a few months, but I recall being taken aback sometimes and laughing a lot. Parker Posey is great in this movie. It is shocking, but not gory. Powerful, but the power came from the subdued statement it makes.
