A Los Angeles male escort, who mostly caters to an older female clientèle, is accused of a murder which he did not commit.
From memory: The crime story is merely the background for a highly stylish exposure of a shallow, ultimately forlorn character - and his slow redemption.
Halliwell (no star): "Thoroughly unattractive wallow on the seamy side of Los Angeles, with none of Midnight Cowboy's passion."
Maltin BOMB: "Schrader presents his weakest variation yet on his favorite theme, the seamy side of American life. Feeble morality play, posing as a thriller, is further undermined by neurasthenic acting and some of the unsexiest sex scenes ever."
