Dans le quartier de Greenwich Village à New York, sévit un tueur maniaque qui a déjà assassiné sauvagement deux homosexuels. Steve Burns, un jeune policier ressemblant aux victimes, est choisi pour enquêter et servir d’appât. Il entreprend alors une plongée dans le monde nocturne gay SM, où règnent corps musclés, moustaches et vêtements de cuir. Au fur et à mesure qu’avance l’enquête, Burns se révèle troublé et fasciné par ce monde. (LaCinetek)

On one hand, a perfect crime movie, on the other a homophobic, insight into the sleaziness of the gay community of 1980. Some scenes are a little too much (even though it could probably have been even worse), Friedkin is simply a very good director for these sequences not to affect the viewer, but for god’s sake, why did he decide to make something like this? Cruising was clearly a challenge for Pacino and he accepted it with a tenacity of his very own. Thanks to the very well handled ending, my lasting impression of this movie is I suppose positive, but never again. I can’t do this.
