112 minute running so 20 minutes too long … movie adaptation of the Paul Theroux novel of the same name, Ben Gazzara plays a pimp in early 1970s Singapore … trouble is the DVD had poor quality audio and no subtitles, so it was tough to understand the story … interesting to see Singapore in the late 1970s though, still pretty backward … sex, homosexual sex, interracial sex, all topics the sex-obsessed Paul Theroux is into … I don’t think I would have been too thrilled with the movie if I could have understood it, though I do like Ben Gazzara, he’s an actor who took chances.
