Implausible plot. Poorly acted. Amateurish production.Trying to find something positive to say... a few of the actors are decent looking.Not worth the time.

Capital Games is about Steve, an ex-cop turned ad agency salesman whose life and career gets upended when Brit/Aussie/foreign dude Mark is hired by the firm. At first, Steve fears losing his precious job and the account he'd been working on for years. But a work retreat changes things for both men. Also, Mark is engaged to a butterface woman and a hot gay male lawyer, who also happens to know Steve's ex-girlfriend. Mark believes he has to go along with the wedding despite having feelings for Steve and fearing he'll lose everything (dude, you do realize being gay in the 2010s is no big deal especially in Cali, right?) So Steve goes from hating Mark to a secret rendezvous with Mark to stalking him and this loop go on and on and on. Also, we get a brief explanation on why he became an ex-cop (something about daddy pointing a gun at him because ex-girlfriend was black). I don't know anything about this G.A. Hauser guy whose name is all over the credits, but this movie felt like a gay The Room. The acting is bad, the filming is wobbly, the dialog is corny, and wayyy too many aerial shots of the city, deserts, and beaches. This is suppose to be a movie, not a travelogue. On the plus side, the guys go shirtless a lot. If you're looking for a cheesy bad film, go for it. If not, look elsewhere.

I looked forward to this movie based on the reviews I saw on IMDb. The first one was the only one I should have heeded. The rest sounded like they were written by friends of the company.The acting was dreadful. Eric, his sister, and Mark's fiancée were blatantly overacting. Moreover, I saw no chemistry between the leads. I believed Mark's ambivalence and the anxiety over his predicament, but even he was hard to take. I don't know if the problem can be traced to the director or the actors. It could have been a real interesting portrait of straight men falling for each other - instead it was a bust.

Well, the acting was terrible. The plot was implausible, and corny, but had a few interesting turns. My advice: persist past the first 30min of this: it does get quite a bit better. It was unconventional in a few ways, which I liked because I'm wacko and like unconventional things. If you don't, forget this movie. An example is the soundtrack, which has a dreamy, odd, out-of-place feel. I have to admit that I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen. This was probably a great book with an average director and a small budget. So many of the scenes were awkward and too hard to watch; I covered my eyes quite a few times. The choice of leads was also interesting - neither of them exceptionally good looking, but with perfect bodies. Lastly, I have to mention the sex scenes. There's a 'tasteful' amount of nudity, including a couple penis and bum shots. There is a sex scene in the desert that, I think, is more realistic than most I've seen. (I liked it because I'm unconventional.)
