victoria foxton Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Is it any good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted September 13, 2022 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Its got some bad reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but outside that, the reviews look good. I love Jon Bernthal and crime/thriller series. I like the retro 80's feel to it as Rosie O'Donnell fits retro to the T. I'm going to rewatch it again as I'm curious about the character's upbringing. ETA: I just uploaded screenshots. Before, I was having issues with it. Edited September 13, 2022 by Noel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 13, 2022 Members Share Posted September 13, 2022 Jon Bernthal seems like odd casting to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted September 13, 2022 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2022 Really? I kind of get that Richard Gere vibe (although he's not Richard Gere), but I do like his work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I saw a bit of it. It's very slow. It's so horrible that mom pimped him out as a boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 14, 2022 Members Share Posted September 14, 2022 Jon is no Richard Gere. I'll pass on this reboot even though Rosie is in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted September 14, 2022 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2022 I meant alike (somewhat) in appearance. Both have that similar nose and chiseled face. Acting-wise, I would certainly hope that they're both different. Haha! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 14, 2022 Members Share Posted September 14, 2022 Richard was very sleek at that time. Bernthal is very rough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 14, 2022 Members Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I enjoy Bernthal, I like Schrader's work and the original film and it's an interesting idea for a kind of movie update (and I do think he works in the role in a very different way), but a sequel TV series? I can't imagine a good reason for that. I'm happy Cheryl Dunye and Gregg Araki are getting high profile work to direct for it, but that's where my interest ends.

Members Noel Posted September 16, 2022 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I kind of felt the same way for A League of Their Own on Prime Video, but then all of a sudden, it grew on me and I enjoy the cast and characters on that series. I guess I need to download the American Gigolo movie and kind of do a contrast/comparison type of thing.

Members Liberty City Posted September 22, 2022 Members Share Posted September 22, 2022 Considering upping my Paramount+ (which barely works as it is) to include Showtime... but I just got charged on 9/20... makes me wonder if I'll be doubly charged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted September 27, 2022 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Did you? Or, was your post supposed to be on the Paramount+/Showtime deal. To me, it's a good deal. Please register in order to view this content I tried to watch the original American Gigolo to the best of my ability to the point where it was a true test of my sanity and stability. I could barely understand what Laurent Hutton was saying, and Richard Gere's performance seemed somewhat lackluster. So, in the movie, who was the actual killer? His pimp?
