{movie} phoenix (2006)

When his lover, Ken, vanishes while on a business trip to Phoenix, naive young Dylan (Chad Bartley) goes in search of him -- and stumbles on some disquieting discoveries. In Phoenix, Dylan meets Demetrius, Ken's partner of seven years. United by Ken's betrayal, Demetrius and Dylan seek solace in each other. Directed by Michael Akers, this trek through one man's identity crisis is also a statement about the nature of love in the modern world.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: * Why do I continue to do this to myself? Why do I continue to waste my time with these horrible independent gay films? It sounded like an interesting movie with an interesting story, but the director and story just couldn't deliver. The acting is also horrible, as always in these things. Twenty minutes into the movie I was bored, but I gave it another thirty minutes and I regretted every minute of it before finally giving up.
