Plots(1)
Handsome and charming, Crane became well known as the star of television`s hit comedy Hogan`s Heroes (1965-1971). Capitalizing on his fame, Crane dove into the freewheeling spirit of the times with relish, having affairs with numerous women. (Auto Focus is a fascinating chronicle of American male sexual identity in the sixties and seventies.) Eventually, Crane teamed up with video technician John Carpenter to document his exploits, an association that may very well have led to his murder in a Scottsdale, Arizona motel room in 1978. (official distributor synopsis)

Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe are unique, but this movie set in the porn business is somehow inappropriately negative and unlikable. Boogie Nights, for example, is in a completely different league, with a wonderful balance of humor, satire and tragedy.

On the one hand, the characters are realistic, excellently written and acted, on the other hand, this is a film about nothing where nothing much happens, it just flows. It's not until about 25 minutes before the end that any real action starts. Solid, average and forgettable.
