"This film absolutely represents everything sophisticated about Paul Schrader's approach to exploring complex moral themes through crime drama. American Gigolo shows his incredible ability to examine power, sexuality, and deception in contemporary society with intelligence and artistic courage, creating a narrative that's both thrilling and psychologically complex.

Richard Gere delivers one of his most compelling performances, creating this character who is both glamorous and vulnerable, showing how people can become trapped by the very lifestyle that seems to give them power. Lauren Hutton and Héctor Elizondo provide excellent support, creating authentic relationships that make the moral questions even more meaningful.

What makes this film so special is how Schrader uses the crime drama format to explore deeper themes about identity, authenticity, and what happens when your public persona becomes a prison. The 1980s setting is captured perfectly, but the themes about power and deception remain completely relevant today.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates crime drama that combines spectacular entertainment with intelligent examination of adult themes and moral complexity. This represents 1980s filmmaking at its most sophisticated - when directors used genre conventions to explore serious psychological and social issues, creating entertainment that's both thrilling and thought-provoking about the nature of power and human relationships!"
