Veteran film maker Todd Verow (Vacationland) returns with an intriguing experimental film shot all over the world on just a cellphone camera. The film is based on the journey of a male hustler, named "Nail", who reenters the world of male prostitution after being in a relationship for ten years. Hooks to the Left examines how the world of prostitution has changed since the advent of the internet. The resulting pixilated visuals, filled with male bodies, abstract interiors and street scenes, serve as a fitting dreamlike landscape for the narrated journal entries of Nail's adventures of internet driven hustling.

BUY THIS AND YOU'LL GET A LEFT HOOK!
This so-called movie looked like a Mondrian after the artist tripped on acid. I thought something was wrong with my DVD player at first. I should have read the reviews before purchasing this piece of "artistic" garbage. You get nothing but pixilating dancing colors that could make you go blind along with a droning and sometimes inaudible narration over the whole thing. This should not even be listed on Amazon. I bought the DVD because of the director and a couple of the actors. The pictures on the front and back can't even be seen in this so-called movie since it was filmed on a cell phone!

Hooks To The Left
I purchased this out of curiosity. I should have followed the advice in the other review and saved my money. It is a piece of crap. Most of the time I had no idea what I was seeing. And the narration became very quickly very tiresome.A total waste of time and money. I gave it one star only because I wasn't able to give it none.

It was like watching a movie that was out of focus the whole time. The story line was interesting but besides that it was ok.
