REVIEW

From award-winning director Wash West (Toolbox; Naked Highway; Dr. Jerkoff & Mr. Hard) comes this sexy thriller about a cat burglar who not only steals jewels, but also the hearts of his his prey. Lloyd is the handsome Animus and the hottie Harper is the private dick that discovers the criminal he's trailing has become his sexual obsession.

Lloyd is sinister and sexy as hell as the mind-fuck prowler of the title (his seduction of a married guy as his helpless wife watches in the first scene is a total turn-on and hilarious to boot). Harper looks good enough to eat in his hat, tie and coat (of course, he looks better undressed) and Simmons' ferociousness in the interrogation and rape scene alone is worth the price of this amazing flick.

Complete with an intricate and believable plotline, superb technical credits and downright scorching and torrid sex scenes, Animus is one of the year-end best by far and deserving of all of the awards and attention that's been showered on it. A must for any collection.
