Description

Al Pacino is Cruising for a killer.Legendary director William Friedkin brings together Al Pacino, the 70s New York gay scene and a searing punk-rock soundtrack in this one-of-a-kind serial killer thriller, finally restored to its long-unavailable original theatrical version in 4K. New York is caught in the grip of a sadistic serial killer who is preying on the patrons of the city's underground gay scene. Young rookie cop Steve Burns (Pacino) is tasked with infiltrating the S&M subculture to try and lure the killer out of the shadows... but as he immerses himself deeper and deeper into the underworld, Steve risks losing his own identity in the process. Taking the premise and title from reporter Gerald Walker's novel, Cruising was the subject of great controversy at the time of its release and remains a challenging and remarkable movie to this day, with Pacino's haunted lead performance as its magnetic centrepiece. With hours of brand-new bonus features, including never- before-seen material from the deepest recesses of the studio archives, you've never seen Cruising like this.

I never heard of this film until my roommate told me All Pacing is in it. I'm a huge Al Pacing fan and it shocked me that I never heard of it . It is a great thriller, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The ending is a let down.

The VHS tape I rented of this film was excellent; I bought the DVD not so much for a better print, as to hear Friedkin's voiceover of the film. There are confusing things in it, I thought; perhaps Friedkin will explajn them. Although it is very intersting to hear almost all of what Friedkin says (and he analyses almost every scene in detail), a summary might be: an intelligent viewer will agreee with Socretes that a wise man knows he knows nothing! Things I thought I understood were not meant to be understood, but to raise more questions. This doesn't mzke the film, or the commentary, any less fascinating. It's also interesting to know that the film was lagely made as a real slice of life in that the leather bars, the hotel, and the minor actors (not acting)--were all real, and filmed on location, in 1979. The opposition to the making of the film, expressed in demonstrations by sections of the gay community in New York, are understandable ("Don't we have ENOUGH troubles?"), but objectively speaking, for anyone to take this film as representing the whole of gay life, at any time, would be the equivelent of watching an episode of "The Sopranos," and concluding that all Italian-Americans made huge amounts of money dealing mostly illegally in mostly illegal goods, and that none of them had any understanding of the value of human life. The following poem came about with the realization that "Master and Commander" and "Cruising" end with exactly the same part of the same Boccherini quartet, and my initial consternation that I was not going to be told any more about the plot of the film than I already knew. In fact--less! There is one added line of dialogue, and some minor, but nifty special effects. Boccherini Quartet Two men, a captain and his first mate, Sit in the captain's cabin, and play Boccherini, The captain with his viola, the mate with an instrument I would call a cello--were it not so long ago. It is The most tuneful part of the quartet, ending in a Feathery lightness, as the scene dissolves to their four-masted ship Becoming little more than a spot on the great ocean. A pretty girl puts a phonograph record on--why, The captain and the first mate are still playing, after all! They have begun their tune again. As she tries on a killer's hat, and her boyfriend's leather jacket, He is shaving in the bathroom mirror, and catches his own eyes there. Those great, dark eyes, thoughtful at first, and then, questioning: who am I now? Their question overrides their sophistication, and the scene moves to The Hudson River, outside the window, as a dirty yellow tugboat Passes in front of the setting sun, to the feathery lightness Of the music. ADDENDA: yes, well, that's all very well. But Friedkin's screenplay acknowledges being based on a 1970 novel by Gerald Walker, which is a horror beyond your imagining--according to Russo (who occasionally makes mistakes). According to Vito Russo ("The Celluloid Closet"--the BOOK), because of the ambiguity of the film, it is possible to interpret the film this way: In Walker's book, a policeman goes undercover to trap a killer of homosexual men, and in the process, discovers his own homosexuality--and starts killing gays himself. According to Russo, homosexuality in the book is spread like being a vampire (one bite does the trick), and the book is not about "Cruising" being violent (which in itself is bad enough as a theory), but about homosexuality itself being violent. For homophobes, ordinary, and gay people with this book in the back of their minds, THIS WILL NOT DO, obviously. Friedkin has changed the focus of his film--to soft. Pacino's character's sexuality may change (reveal itself as other than he thought it to be), and it may not. The "serial killer" turns out to be several killers (the killers are played by different actors)--WHY?, Pacino may have killed his friend (the last murder in the film)--though God knows why. Friedkin perhaps should have hung his script on a less horrifying book. However much he has changed, or softened it, it remains confusing--and open to the interpretation that Walker gave his novel. I like confusion, but being told that my lifestyle, or sexual proclivities, leads to self-hatred and hatred of him "who made me that way"--doesn't sit well at all. More addenda: A: My mother made me a homosexual! B: Oh! If I buy the yarn--will she make me one too? ... show more

I wanted to have this unusual film in my library at home in order to be able to watch it when I felt the urge to be watching something so dark and bleak; it does sort of place the notion of serial killers and gay men in the same story for whatever reason, and that is an interesting combination. I also really like to listen to a good directors commentary. This one is not so great unfortunately. I have interviewed William Friedkin face to face in the past, and am a little fascinated by his choices as a director. He likes to stick with the gritty crime drama a lot of the time and he's quite accomplished at the genre, but he slips over into other material such as 'Boys In The Band' and 'The Exorcist'. When he deviates over to these other genre films - genre as in - horror and gay film - he tends to bring some of his action drama gritty crime film-effects with him. Listening to the commentary here I started to wonder what the point of it really was; I didn't get a great deal of information from it at all, I'm afraid, but it did start me to wondering about the director's vision in relation to his other films. I am now wondering if the good director has started a chain reaction in my imagination linking the evil spirit in Regan's life into the murders that go on around and about the meat packing district in 'Cruising'. After all - the same voice coming from a variety of men... and other strange revelations William makes during the commentary really does push this film into the super natural. It is a strange and alienating film on many levels, not the least level being the one where you share the viewing with the director himself - who seeks not to answer questions, but to pose them. I understand why there was some outrage at the film when it was released, after all it doesn't read very clearly as to what it is saying, and with Friedkin suggesting one victim is the next killer or one killer is the next victim, he really does open a can of worms around the subtext. When I first saw the film in the early 1980s I was shocked by the brutality of it - now I see it as less brutal, and more sinister than ever. It tells the story of a cop who goes under cover to find a murderer - he acts as bait - and he does eventually pull a killer out of a sub-cultural group he is playing bait for. ... show more

    • I read an interview with Al Pacino
And he said this was one of his worst movies and that he gave all the money back to an AIDS cause (I think it was). I had never heard of it so I rented it. It is a stinker. Very 80s leather gay bar scene. Whoever wrote it didn't work very hard at it. Al was right.
