Amphetamine is the second installment of a Scud Trilogy. The sequel examines the limit of passion as oppose to it's prequel Permanent Residence which examines the limit of life. The movie stars newbie actors: Thomas Price, a half HK-Chinese/half British actor who also now appears as a Channel [V] video jockey; and Byron Pang who was a former model and a runner-up from Mr. Hong Kong 2005 pageant.
With Scud's infamous style of frontal nudity in his films, this movie defines the line between a pornographic material and an artistic perception of sexuality. Although I must admit that it is Thomas Price that gave me the urge to hunt this movie down.
I get the story of two men, one who's in struggle of his sexuality and one who's struggling to find the love he's always wanted. With Daniel (Price) being the more stable of the two, he supports and guides Kafka (Pang) and share him his life. In return, Kafka gives his best to return the love that Daniel is showing him despite the traumatic past he had previously. Kafka and Daniel do share another thing aside from their sexuality and love -- drugs. Amphetamine in particular. They use this substance to enjoy their togetherness and sometimes to escape whatever that is bothering them esepcially Kafka. Not knowing that the love they have is more than addicting than the substances they are taking in.
I was drawn to this movie because of Tom Price as mentioned above and have learned to realised that Byron Pang is hot himself. If you like some eye candy, manly body, or even a softcore porn with a good plot -- this movie might suit your palette. Sex scenes are both homo male-to-male and hetero. There also scenes where Daniel and Kafka first met, I've always yearned for that feeling and every time I feel it, it just makes you want to fall in love!
If you can get this movie on DVD, it's worth the money! Both guys are enough compensation for your eyes for the story's lack of thrill it gives your brain cells.
