Review of Auto Focus (2002) by Jim S — 03 Mar 2004
This movie is about the life of Hogan's Hero's star- Bob Crane.
Ok, so this starts off really delightful and fun at first. Then its middle period is filled with porn and gratuitous nudity, I mean they really didn't have to show all that they showed, and then final third is really creepy, ikcy, sad, and moves with a weird- off putting pace. The final third approaches the story kind of strangely, and it seems a bit more sloppy than the rest, but maybe that's what the director was going for, after all that's how Bob Crane's life was. Greg Kinnear is great. Willem Dafoe is reliably creepy. Nice commentary on addiction. Here it's porn addiction.
It's a good movie, I could see this thing end up NC-17, but it does try to avoid any kind of close ups on "penetration" or "dick sucking", and there's plenty of it in this movie.
