Review of In The Flesh

Making a movie is a complicated effort that requires a full complement of very talented people, a tightly woven script and an idea with substance.  This film proves the veracity of that statement.  In The Flesh is an example of a film that has absolutely none of those requirements.

The overall premise provides enough to produce a genuine movie, although it is a bit trite.  A gay cop falls in love with a hustler who is falsely suspected of murdering one of his clients.  This film addresses that formulaic plot with the finesse of a jackhammer operated by a toddler.

Spoiler Alert (as if this film could be further spoiled):  There is a happy ending!  Of course, the happiness comes from the very fact that it has ended after an hour and a half of wasted life.
