A nonsense movie
tranngocthanhtu14 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I was hope that this d uilm at least will have some investigate, some useful inference or some proof to think about, but nothing happened, they just walk around, talk, drink coffee, eat, go to scrime scene several times (which have nothing to see because it haven't been showed), then they use some "spirit" skill to break the case, that all, the background is really good, all those places and items look professtional but just lead to a nonsense movie, with silly converstations, long-non-essential sex scenes and a boring love story, it go nowhere from start till end, i think that the director should never make a film again, this even worse than 'capital game', i think it'll good on book, but not on a film because they make it suck.

What even happened
betsanahs7 November 2020
All I remember from the film was the decent kissing scenes, and the idiotic wrongful wear of the bullet proof vest

Pathetic
gilbertjones-546-59777925 September 2018
After watching,and purchasing,"Capital Games",the first of G.A.Hauser's movies,I was hoping for another movie that was polished,professionally acted and produced and with a cast of attractive men.I could NOT have been more wrong here. The "acting",if one can call it that here,was wooden and abysmal.The story was uninteresting and tedious.The two lead actors had no chemistry and were,at best,unattractive.This is basically a bunch of guys walking around a seedy area of L.A. reciting their lines.We can only hope that if any of Ms.Hauser's other books come to life on screen that they more closely resemble "Capital Games" than this train wreck.This is a severe nosedive from Capital Games in both production and cast.STAY AWAY!

Decent movie worth the time

I enjoyed this movie for the plot, dialogue and actors. It was not polished and high quality but held my attention and an enjoyable watch.

police procedural drama with some romance
tripp-philly191037 January 2015
Naked Dragon [2014] is a more than pleasant directorial debut by G.A. Houser, who was also author, co-screen writer and executive producer. It is a police procedural drama with a large dash of romance set in unspecified modern times in Los Angeles. Davon Williams plays a rookie police officer (Dave Harris) who is, from the opening scenes, competent and confidant. Jesse Seann Atkinson plays a psychic FBI Agent (Robbie Taylor) assigned especially because of the gruesome nature of a mega-serial killer's multi-state rampage. As a drama, I give this film a B-. The story is compelling and played with enough enthusiasm by all the actors involved. As a police procedural, I give it a B+ with interplay between LAPD and FBI, the biggest fault being the action taking place off-screen and we pick up with the aftermath and the FBI guys being wooden (doh) until the last 10 minutes. But as a romance, I give Naked Dragon an A. Williams and Atkinson make a very attractive and believable couple. Williams' shy awkwardness is well-balanced by Atkinson's "knowing." The kisses are actually credible. The intimacy scenes are mostly shrouded in shadow but without holding back. All-in-all, it was a good and well-developed plot played believably by competent actors who, as it happens, were not afraid to kiss each other. That makes for an excellent LGBT film in my book.

Refreshing
nizzlebop23 February 2021
I very much enjoyed seeing a story depict MALE, multi-racial, law enforcement professionals developing a relationship. It is also rare to see a movie of this genre type explore a plot having a bit of action/adventure. Refreshing and believable!

A nice love story
jaroslaw9919 March 2020
I really enjoyed this - a story about an FBI agent and patrol officer who meet and fall in love. I thought the acting was adequate or good and the story totally believable. Unlike many Gay themed stories, no one cheated or did drugs - the leads were perfectly normal. Several guests to my home have seen this and all liked it.
