Lost in the Reel's video review for American Gigolo The original film American Gigolo from 1980, is a divisive, yet seminal classic.  It's a movie I grew up on, as it was one of my dad's favorite movies, but I honestly never found myself overly fond of it.  After watching it again before diving into this new show, I certainly see the appeal of Paul Schrader's film, yet I am still torn on it.  On one hand, Gigolo is smutty, soapy, style-over-substance and full of melodramatic moments and cheesy dialogue…but, it is also at times, a gritty, hard-boiled thriller and a fascinating character study.
