(Video) Trick - Gài Bẫy (USA, 1999, Eng. & Viet. Sub.)

It's lust at first sight when Gabriel (Christian Campbell), a songwriter with Broadway ambitions, runs into Mark (John Paul Pitoc), a hot go-go dancer at a local gay club. They head to Gabriel's place to seal the deal, but are thwarted when Gabriel's roommate Rich (Brad Beyer) arrives with opposing plans for their closet-sized apartment. It's the first of many sexual obstructions in a wild night that leaves the pair physically unsatisfied, but developing an unforeseen romantic bond nevertheless.
Release date: July 23, 1999 (USA)

Đó là sự khát khao mãnh liệt nảy sinh ngay từ cái nhìn đầu tiên khi Gabriel (do Christian Campbell đóng), một nhà soạn nhạc với tham vọng Broadway, tình cờ gặp gỡ Mark (do John Paul Pitoc đóng), một trai nhảy thoát y ở một câu lạc bộ gay trong vùng.  Họ đưa nhau về nhà của Gabriel để cùng thỏa mãn, nhưng lại gặp trở ngại khi bạn cùng phòng của Gabriel là Rich (do Brad Beyer đóng) lại có một kế hoạch trái ngược trong việc sử dụng căn hộ nhỏ bé.  Đó là trở ngại đầu tiên trong nhiều trở ngại ngăn cản việc họ thỏa mãn dục tính cho nhau trong đêm hoang dại ấy.  Sau đêm ấy, dẫu rằng cả hai chẳng ai được thỏa mãn về mặt thể xác, nhưng giữa họ đã nảy sinh một mối ràng buộc lãng mạn mà họ không ngờ tới.

Sequel

In a December 2012 AfterElton.com interview, director Fall stated that he and writer Schafer were in the early stages of developing a sequel to Trick. Fall said the film would take place 12 years after the first one, with main characters Gabriel and Mark — not having stayed together because they were "not really right for each other" — meeting again and falling in love as grown men.

REVIEW

Lovely to revisit the 1999 gay male Rom-Com Trick from director Jim Fall and writer Jason Schafer. Trickcaptures a particular moment in time, specifically pre-9/11 NYC. AIDS was becoming more manageable. Not everyone was dying. Young gay men could choose hope over fear for their future and the city was still living in the bubble of safety before the attacks. Christian Campbell and J.P. Pitoc (Claire’s crematory boyfriend Phil from Six Feet Under) spend the entire film desperately trying to find a place to hook-up after picking each other up on the subway. The two are perfectly cast – Campbell is the quintessential fresh-faced boy next door and Pitoc is walking sex cast as the god-like go-go boy. Although the boys begin the evening wanting to just get off, their misadventures in finding a place to get naked force them to discover something more tender going on between them and soon we see the beginning of two people falling in love. Trick features Tori Spelling playing an annoying wannabee actress best friend to Campbell’s Gabriel. Steve Hayes (Tired Old Queen at the Movies) plays a friend of Gabriel’s who gets to make out with Pitoc’s Mark to make his ex-boyfriend jealous. After 15 years Trick holds up perfectly. It’s the definition of an indie film – small budget, location shooting, strong casting and script. So happy I revisited this beautiful falling in love film. 5 out of 5 for Trick.
