Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Okay. There are moments I think this is a top movie and sometimes it's not that good. What is top is the acting of Raoul O'Connell. The guy brings so much into the movie as character. Unbelievable!. Really awesome. I have no other word for it. When he appears the story starts to be interesting. He takes my attention. He wakes me up. And he brings depth into what the director thinks and wants. He is a a gift from heaven I think. Okay. That means. Please great directors. Please take him and ask him to play in your movie. It's a selfish thing of me. Because I like to see him. Frisk is a movie you like or dislike. It's a kind of horror story. It shows some dark side of human. Of a gay man. It tells about our society nowdays. I 's really something do make a movie like this, without to much money. Hope they will spent some more money into the story and ask Raoul O'Connel again and there will be a master piece. Okay.

I really don't see how anyone that hasn't read the book could possibly really understand what this film is supposed to be about. The character development was pretty weak, making me constantly wonder *why* the characters were doing what they were doing... and never getting an answer. And the acting really didn't help either. It was just... well, bad. It made the characters look cheap and one dimensional. Dialogue was spoken as if it was the actors' first times going over the script. You know, porn-like. I really don't get why people act like this was such a disturbing movie... I was bored throughout mostly the entire thing. If the characters had been straight, it may very well have been just another late night HBO erotic thriller.If I had to guess, I'd say this film was made solely to shock, not to actually tell a really quite interesting story written by a brilliant author.

Pretty awful. Even though I had read and loved the book, I couldn't make heads or tails of the movie. Although one thing needs to be pointed out, in the films brief conventional narrative moment, Craig Chester is brilliant as the semi-comatose whore. When his trick for the evening is trying to drag his lifeless body out of his house, Chester wakes up to ask if there was anything he could have done better for them. It's hard to explain, but in a way, that one moment almost gives this terrible, rootless film a sense of humanity that leaves an impression. I would watch the first 30 minutes again for that scene alone.

I actually saw this movie in the theater. More than three-quarters of the people walked out before the end. I've never walked out of a movie, but I was tempted to with this one. The reason I stayed was that I kept waiting for some sort of payoff to give meaning to the nonsensical violence, but that payoff never came. As a result, all it really amounted to was a wannabe snuff film.
