Review of Truth

Truth (2013)
4/10
Interesting (but failed) premise
17 February 2017
"Truth" is one of those movies where you ask yourself: "who green-lighted this thing???" It is a gay-themed psychological thriller, and the script itself is actually pretty good. The dialogue is creepy, and at times actually more disturbing than the action around it. But the acting (and I use the term loosely), the "made for TV" style cinematography and campy music just don't match dark subject matter this film is supposed to evoke. I was wondering why there were so many shots of the main character (including full-frontal), and when I checked IMDb...surprise! (actually, not really) it turns out he is a gay porn actor. This and the fact that both characters are often wearing Andrew Christiansen underwear pretty much answer how this film came to be. The ending is probably the worst part of the film, and is both a drastic departure from the tone of the beginning of the film and sloppy way to resolve the entire situation. Sadly, what could have been an interesting premise was poorly executed and is basically just a warning to aspiring actors: don't do gay porn!
