CGiii Comment

Impressive...but, thoroughly unpleasant.

Only problem: the beginning...kids burying a grown man up to his neck in the sand - it doesn't quite work. Surely, there was a better mechanism for the two men to meet?!?!?

There is so much crammed in here...definitely potential for a feature.

It's not exactly a glowing portrait of men - gay or 'straight'.

But...well worth watching.


Trailer...
