American Gigolo (1980) Rated R

American GigoloA male escort is wrongful accused of murder. Starring Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, Hector Elizondo

This film takes an inside look at an American gigolo. Gere plays the escort who just enjoys pleasuring women to being framed for murder. We all know from the beginning who framed Gere which brings the confrontation of the two to the boiling front. Gere plays the character as a male escort the best I can’t imagine anyone else in the role. They did  make the character have an undertone of homosexuality, although, I didn’t get that until the end. The movie even with the climax of the story doesn’t make this film the best even though it is was worth the two-hour watch. I’m not talking about the frontal nudity. It was worth the watch.
