Sexy, dark, erotic, sinister, psycho thriller.
Knowing that this was inspired by true events and what really happened, I understand why the film may seem as one giant plot hole to some viewers. I know most people wish a definitive answer and this movie doesn't exactly make it clear for the viewer. Done intentionally by Friedkin to indicate the true story's mystery, which I think is brilliant. That said, I wish the cast was hotter and I still can't believe Al Pacino did this film. I love it. It's such an amazing documented piece of Homosexual life before AIDS hit. Something we will never see or experience ever again.

This Al Pacino Thriller Turned Into One of the Most Hurtful Movies Ever
The '80s brought many cruelties for the gay community: the Reagan Administration, AIDS, demonization, televangelist Jerry Falwell proclaiming "AIDS is God's punishment for homosexuals," and gay bashing abounding. It was hell. But the commencement of the decade also brought cruelty in the create of film. Cruising was released on February 8, 1980. The film, starring Al Pacino as an undercover cop, Steve Burns, scrutinizing murders in Novel York's S&M male lover subculture, was a thorn in the community's side upon its release. From the timing of its release to the message of hopelessness it leaves viewers with, a film supposedly delving into New York's gay underworld became one more thing the gay group had to endure. And perhaps the greatest sting of the movie is that it's still reverberated to this day. Because despite victories for the LGBTQIA+ community in the decades since Cruising emerged, despite Marriage Equality, despite better treatment and prevention of AIDS, and despite far more gay inclusion, this bloodlust for queer suffering still exists. Somehow, 1980 do
Out the Movies is a bi-weekly newsletter about homosexual film for AF+ subscribers written by Drew Burnett Gregory.
“The two girls stood in front of that big wide window in broad daylight and began blatantly and passionately embracing and kissing each other. In defiance of their eviction, they were doing their thing so everybody in the bar could see them. It was a rift I was witnessing right there and then between these two separate worlds: the brazen girls outside who were the very essence of liberation and those elderly guys at the exclude who were sitting there somewhat shell-shocked by something they’d never seen before.”
This is not an excerpt from a lesbian pulp novel. It’s an excerpt from Al Pacino’s recent memoir Sonny Boy. To the famous actor, this expression of queerness was a declaration of a changing time. To him, it was akin to the revolutions happening on the streets and at the cinema.
The 1970s are often discussed as a golden age of American cinema. The Hollywood studio system — and its Hays Code — had been destroyed and in its place were a collection of radical auteurs. Books like Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls helped to mythologize this era as a grand
