Since just seeing this film recently I can’t stop raving about it to people. On the surface Cruising is a film about a Psychopath murdering homosexuals in the gay scene. Al Pacino plays a heterosexual cop (lots of bedroom scenes with Karen Allen to confirm this!) assigned to go undercover and find the killer.

This film pulls very few punches when it comes to depicting gay bars and the shenanigans that consenting male adults get up to in said bars, so if your a bit squeamish about being exposed to the gay leather S & M scene, maybe give the film a miss. However if you want to see an absolutely brilliant film by William Friedkin (also Director of The Exorcist and The French Connection) and can deal with sometimes confronting imagery give it a go.

I will not spoil the ending for you, but the realisation at the end of the film will you leave you thinking and wondering for days.
