Simply A Masterpiece
Don't Believe the Hype
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
The idea of the movie, the aim and cause it's dedicated to are so beautiful which saved the movie from its flaws & made it enjoyable. It could've been much better if they developed it in a better way.
Just saw Hooked on iTunes and will keep this brief. It looks good, nicely shot but that's easier to achieve these days. The subject matter is honourable, LGBTI youth homelessness is an important issue. The central relationship is sweet and unique. The film's biggest flaw is some awkward acting, occasionally from the main couple but particularly from Terrance Murphy who plays the conflicted Ken - so wooden! Katie McClellan who plays his wife probably gives the most naturalistic performance in the film. There's certainly far worse queer cinema out there but there is better too.
This Movie has self-harm, sexual content, it also shows body parts. it has strong language, drug use, underage sex and smoking, attempted suicide, murder, rape and sexual abuse I don't agree with the Ken and jack thing that was going on, I believe people should only date and stuff if they are the same age or 2 or 3 years apart at the most and ken is a lot older then jack, ken is like 50 or older then that and jack has only just turned 18 and its just wrong and anyway I see a person of 18 years as still a teenager and people say 19 is the last year of being a teenager, I would say a person of 21 is an adult but no one under that age I liked jack and tom's relationship, they are the same age I believe and they were funny and cute together. tom is really smart and caring and that's why he is my fav charter I like that the Movie covers borderline personality disorder, mental disorders are not talked about much and I keep hearing of borderline personality disorder and I would like to know more about it and after watching this Movie I want to look more into it.
A great idea and positive message that lacked direction and intelligent dialogue.
