DId not buy Jason as gay

"This was a creepy crime drama"

You got that right.

"I didn't think Jason played a emotionally desperate gay man very well he was too stiff, plus he wore his "I'm a straight guy left earing" for the entire movie."

I think he's too horrible of an actor to even play a straight man.

"The scene when they invite the con's into the cottage for some food and that turns into an ego/arm wrestling fight was quite intense."

Dear God, you're kidding right?

I couldn't sleep the other night and this movie was the late Sunday night crap film on channel two so I figured what the hell. Ok, problems from the very beginning. Stockwell (who I actually liked in Quantum Leap) butchered and overdramatized the whole overbearing macho father thing. I was really surprised because I thought he was a decent actor. The two cons were incredibly weird. That whole bunch of B.S. about the "Wanape" Indians (who I'm not even sure exist) was an insult to Native Americans everywhere... Like the Native Americans really had arm wrestling matches with scorpians to kill the loser. Oh not to mention the whole thing about fathers and sons having incestuous gay sex. Sure, and of course they did all this while war whooping and saying "How, me Indian and you white man smokem peace pipe." Not to mention how creepy and kid toucherish the actor's delivery came off.

Let's see what else, oh yes, this movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! When the father caught the kid leaving in the middle of the night why didn't the two cons make it easy on themselves and make up some story saying that they were going off to have an orgy in the woods or something? The father was enough of a raging *beep* disgusted by his son to believe it. Then, can anyone explain how Frank can take shotgun blasts to the chest like a champ? First of all it didn't appear that he was wearing a vest, second of all where would he have gotten one (don't say the campers because who the hell brings a bullet proof vest camping), and third shotguns shoot SHOT not BULLETS! If he was fired on from that distance he most certainly would have caught some pellets in the face or arms/legs.

Also, it seemed that the kid hit him again from less than point blank range in the boat, but again he emerged unscathed. The whole boat thing was really really stupid...Just kill the guy and explain what happened to the cops! "Oh wait, he can't swim so I'll leave him clinging to the boat!" But seriously-If you're friends with the cops in the first place you could either A: Just deny everything and tell them that these two scumbags tried to rob the place, or B: Just kill the two scumbags and tell the cops that they were trying to rob the place and you shot them. There was no reason for that kid to go to prison other than to have the really sappy reunion with the father. It probably could have been a good movie with a little rewrite of the script and less of a a desire to make it an "edgy gay love triangle for the modern moviegoing experience" type theme.
