200 American (2003)


A gay owner of an ad agency is nursing a broken heart and to escape his dreadful melancholy, he hires a rent boy for sex one evening. He is surprised that the guy he hires is actually decent, sweet and smart so he finds him a position in his company. He then learns that he is actually Australian and he is only hustling to raise a certain amount to obtain an American green card. On the other hand, the owner's right hand man has fallen for the hustler and vice versa, that's when the tension starts amongst those involved...



An honest simple story that is worth seeing... maybe not as great as the other films you watch but it ain't bad compared to most independent films. Considering the budget constraints and everything, the only flaw I find is that all three major characters are good-looking. I'd expect the owner to look more ordinary so that it would be more credible to use his greens to have some overnight fun. But I bet the presence of good looks is purely a marketing strategy.
