Alex" (Jonny Beauchamp) is a young man recovering

"Alex" (Jonny Beauchamp) is a young man recovering from a ghastly relationship with his father. He's pretty broke, in a bit of an emotional cul-de-sac and working as a pizza boy when he encounters the enigmatic and charming "Shane" (Mike Manning) with whom he soon becomes fascinated, infatuated and every so slightly obsessed. His new mentor determines to push "Alex" to his limits, then beyond those limits - enabling him to more fully enjoy sex, but also to be able to defend himself from those who would gay-bash him. As you will expect, there is quite a bit more to "Shane", and as this revenge thriller pans out, we discover a little more of just how his eye-for-an-eye mentality delivers brutal and violent results. My problems with this were twofold. The dialogue is extremely uninspiring, pedestrian even. This story deals with real issues faced by many young gay men who have difficulties with their parents, their friends, with alcohol and their own self-esteem and self-worth. The writing here is just too light-weight and it doesn't arm either character - especially Beauchamp - with enough to really punch through. The second is the woefully underlit photography. It's as if it were all being shot using some candles, or a Davy lamp. That works at certain stages of the story, but after a while I felt the whole point of "Alex" not having to live in the shadows was being compromised by director Barry Jay's choice to film it as if we were all in a cave. It's a solid story that looks at a few salient (and criminal) point. This just doesn't deliver that story very well.

Terrific thriller

Kenny's Movie Review

Coming to Streaming 2/10/2023

"The Way Out"

This is from the Great people of "Terror Films"

A young man deals with the loss of his abusive father by taking advice from a charming, dangerous stranger who teaches him about life, sex, and fighting back.

This is a really good intense psychological thriller from director Barry Jay, it stars Jonny Beauchamp as a young man dealing with the sudden loss of his abusive father, he's in a dead end job as a pizza delivery driver when he finds out his dad died of a "massive heart attack" he's helped by his AA sponsor played by Sherri Shepherd and his "girlfriend" played by Ashleigh Murray. When he inherits his fathers house and massive unpaid bills he starts renting out rooms and here he meets a stranger played really creepy by Mike Manning who teaches him how to fight back.

This is where I'll leave you, the film takes you on a wild ride and a game of revenge, the acting and story is really interesting and terrific and I'd highly recommend you seeing this when it comes to streaming in February.

Thanks to Terror Films for the opportunity to share their film with me.
