Hypocrisy is a world of lies in which a hero being true has no rights and no friends. Steep downfall with a landing.

what the hell is this ?!
i couldn't believe my eyes when i found paul schrader is the one behind this film, is it possible this is the same paul schrader who had done writing in 'taxi driver, 'raging bull', and other works with scorsese?
or maybe he is just simply unable to cope ...( read more)
Pensé que se trataba de una película romántica de la típica prostituta (en este caso Richard Gere) que se enamora de un cliente prohibido. Desde luego que es eso, pero lo que sí me gustó es el thriller que en momentos es muy interesante y permite demostrar más la personalidad obs...( read more)
I felt that they established all the characters and where the story was heading very well, but when it came time to progress it it came off quite cheesy and sensational at times. Below all that there's a very strong base for the story to be told, but it loses its focus along the ...( read more)
he was the man in this movie!!! woooo weee!! i lov to be the older woman in here !!
The movie that really put Richard Gere on the map. Interesting look at the escort/hooker thing from the male side. Has a look that predates what Michael Mann would later appropriate. Last third seems forced to add energy.
Richard Gere was way better actor when he was young. I think he lose something.
T.D. Faison should do remake of American Gigolo starring Richard Gere. Funny thing about this is that T.D. Faison actually was a high priced gigolo. What a story. Let's start a campaign to get this story remade with T.D. as the lead...
It's really hard to imagine that John Travolta was suppose to star in this movie because I couldn't see it. It's basically a murder mystery with about as many endings as "Lord of the Rings 3" but it was alright. I feel 3 stars is too much but 2 and a half is too little. Whatever.
a hallmark film for its time..great start then sinks under its own weight..a bit pretntious and serious..could have been alot more fun if it was handled lighter....not gere's best role to be sure..but he does an adequate job. Great soundtrack though!
He is definately good in these kinds of movies.If it wasn't for this movie i wouldn't have known who he was.Making fast cash off these females and the older ladies were the attraction.You can't help but like this movie.
one of the two sexiest roles Richard Gere ever had....its a very good movie on top of it all...but damn Richard is so sexy in this!!
The movie that started it all. It launched Gere's career and my love affair with this gorgeous, talented man on the silver screen. Wow. Every true fan must see this movie. Shame on you if you haven't. Believe me. It's your loss.
This movie was very shocking. Films were previously made regarding sex workers. However, this film examined the male sex worker, and featured him naked for all to see. That was a first for its time. The honesty of the lead characters matched the honestly of their ethics. My f...( read more)
Richard Gere is electrifying as the title role in this stylish, sexually charged drama film.
I did not like this movie at all. I thought it was slow, pointless, and the ending was all wrong. It only received two stars because of the casting.
Oh a classic. And Hutton is so sexy in this, a role that she is perfect in.
American Gigolo is surely one of the most underrated movies of all times. It's a very good movie, in my opinion second best of Paul Schrader's films, right after "Mishima - Life in four chapters", and I never understood why it got all the bad reviews. First of all it's one of the...( read more)
This is one of the films that helped start Richard Gere's career in Hollywod. Lauren Hutton is superb in this with with her acting and with her grace. A classic 1980 film that is timeless.
Grande filme de Gere.Uma actuação bastante impresionante de um grande actor.
