Tiger Orange (2014)
2/10
Lost before it began
26 May 2020
The synopsis of this is what drew me to watch, which was in itself pretty intelligent. But shortly in when the adult characters started to reveal themselves, I became aware of just how miscast and horrible the acting was, which compelled me to look them up on IMDB at about minute 11. Well, surprise, surprise! One of the leads who very soon begins to get a lot of naked/butt-shots turns out to be a gay porn star in real life. I have seen other films wherein a lead "actor" turns out to be a gay male porn star (Judas Kiss, starring Sean Lockhart/Brent Corrigan) and they always strike me with more questions about the actors than about the film in question. Specifically, a) why were they cast in these roles as opposed to legitimate actors? b) who thought they could actually carry a non-pornographic role? c) did the producers think they would be enough of a "draw" to sacrifice the film's quality? I still don't know the answers here, but these bad casting choices and worse script made this movie fail before I could even get vested in caring about any outcome. Definitely not worth watching...unless maybe Johnny Hazard is your particular "dream" in which you want to see him with his clothes ON (at least some of the time).
