Deeply unsatisfying film which just recounts over and over the dilemma of gay men who simply don't know how to love or communicate to each other. I wouldn't have given the arrogant business man the time of day if he had treated me the way he treats the much more acceptable emotional hustler. At least he tries to find some good behind the mentally disturbed and obsessed guy who is paying him to go on a journey with him. The acting is first rate but sadly is typical of the downers gay men have on themselves and perpetuates the idea of a dream lover we hurriedly move on from. (A man to feel those needs is someone we could all have if we let our hatreds for ourselves get out of the way..) I could feel no empathy for the main role even though it is explained who Brendan is and why it affected him.
