Excellent movie about sex addiction

Bob Crane (Greg Kinnear) who played Hogan on the hit television series "Hogan's Heroes" meets a video expert named John "Carpy" Carpenter (Willem Dafoe.)
The two of them form a close bond and begin cashing in on Crane's fame to access women for sex.
This goes on several years and Crane goes through two marriages as his sex addiction gets worse and worse.
Eventually it destroys his acting career and finally he decides to turn over a new leaf.
This requires him to end his relationship with Carpenter though, who takes the news badly.
The film indicates that Carpenter killed Crane although in real life he was acquitted in a court of law.
I found the film to be very interesting and could feel the seediness of addiction that Crane felt.
It felt very real and it kept my interest from beginning to end.
Sex, drugs, and violence seem to be the things that make movies interesting and this one has them all.
Highly recommended. |
