Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: R Release Date: 12-MAR-2002 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Writer-director Paul Schrader viewed this as the second part of a trilogy that began with Taxi Driver and concluded with Light Sleeper--each dealing with a lonely man trying to deal with both his own dizzily spinning moral compass and the hypocrisy of the society that's trying to tell him what to do. Richard Gere plays a high-priced prostitute, an immaculately dressed stud for hire who services the bored women of Beverly Hills without ever allowing himself to be touched emotionally. His affair with a politician's wife (Lauren Hutton) changes that, at a point when he is being framed for a murder he didn't commit. Even as he tries to elude the law, he allows himself to become enmeshed with her in unexpected ways. Too cool and distant for some viewers, the film has a distinctive look and deliberate pacing--and about two endings too many. But it will keep you watching in spite of yourself. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good movieThanks for the fast delivery. I have been looking for this movie, but I never expected to find it on Amazon.com's website. Cool Bananas!!!

Recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of DVDfilm/movie. American Gigolo Review by: Dr, MR Franc ... Read More Rating: - Los Angeles: The Movie.I couldn't agree more with many of the other criticisms regarding the shallowness of the romantic story or essential lack of sympathy for any of the characters. The thing that makes American Gigolo such a gem is that even this aspect of Paul Schrader's attempted New Wave/LA hybrid is corrupted by its material. And on a purely superficial level, the film perfectly captures just how a Southern California "tragedy" would unfold. Really quite brilliant, although I'm not sure all of it is ...

Rating: - Stud Poke HerThis is one movie that grew entirely from its failings into one of the most influential movies of the last 20 years.How could the director of "Taxi Driver" blow it? The ingredients were in line: attractive stars: Model of the decade, Lauren Hutton; Richard Gere, Slim Von Wink;supporting cast,Hector Elizondo, Latino on the rise, Bill Duke (future director)and the blond near-actress tied to Howard Hughes, Nina Von whatever.The movie rides entirely on the surface, two wheels instead of four on the ground. ...
