Monique, a high class escort, has always been able to give her clients exactly what they want, while clean cut Thomas has always been exactly what everyone has expected. But tonight Thomas' curiosity is going to get the better of him while demanding of Monique the one thing she's reluctant to offer. Honesty, costs more.

That was an excellent one.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
This is one of those films starts off and you soon think you have a good idea of where it is all going. And then you get caught up in the performances and dialogue, and it turns into more than you had hoped or expected. It only works because of the two great young actors and their direction. Each of them so much look like others in the profession that which you are familiar, but it is their own abilities that keep you involved here. The story-line is similar in style and substance to others, but it somehow seems fresh. It's the most unlikely call-girl and her John movie that you are likely to encounter in quite some time.
First of all, I watched this 3X before I picked up on all that happens. Well put together. The story starts with a phone call wanting to schedule an escort appointment with Monique ($8,000). Then it shifts to a her in a clinic being tested for AIDS, we can only assume she is in remission because she is tested frequently and is none to fond of needles telling the nurse "you can stick me next time". Remarkable plot and story line involving 2 individuals and the journey toward sex between individuals without having it on the screen. The lady is a high priced escort provider and the guy (Thomas)is a young, successful high tech programming genius who is engaged (later revealed), but wants to know more about what sex is supposed to be. He and his finance had a bad first time experience we learn later after he confesses to Monique that he is not a virgin after all. He is wanting to break off the engagement. He is willing to pay the fee for it, and she wants to go on with him and does many things to stir his desires, but he would rather chat about it and find out what makes great sex. The setting is her high rent apartment flat and the erotic journey is incredible. He goes on and on not understanding but searching for more wisdom. She has many lapses to reluctantly tell him more about her. She lets her guard down thinking he may be the one to rescue her and proved it by violating one of her cardinal rules and kissing him on the lips in a move to show him she is serious! He then gently lets her down by wanting to just be a friend to help her get a respectable job. She quickly covers up by indicating that she would not go and be a secretary on low wages and indicating that she was just joking with him. He leaves the sensual adventure to go back to his life, but he comes back to her door more than once indicating he is having second thoughts. The last time he comes back in she is on a phone not hearing him come in only to overhear a conversation with her friend/handler that she had hooked him up for another session and to tell the next suitor that she is done for the night. At that point he realizes that he was played. Big surprise. That's what they do. At the end, she calls her Mom in a tearful state to say hi. We can only infer that she is really a lonely person who wants love. This movie was self financed by the actors and friends and really should get more US attention. Now that it is on Netflix, I think it will.
I thought the actors did a really good job in their roles (interesting chemistry when the actors are actually married in the real world). The story was good and engaging, although she did put up with his "questions" longer than she should have. The ending could have been written many different ways, but I liked how this ended. Sure, if you preferred all the talk done in bed after a seductive strip tease and sweaty sex, then this film will seem dull. But it seemed fitting that no unnecessary body parts were exposed. On a five star rating, I would give this a 4.5. The extra 1/2 star is because it was an indie film that was really well done!
Great acting and a great script made this film into something special. One of those films were you walk out after watching it and you feel you really got your moneys worth. It reminds me of Hunter Richards film London with Jason Statham and Jessica Biel. Both these movies explores the impact strangers can have on each other. "The best conversation you will ever have is with a stranger." Anel Alexander and James Alexander pulls the the viewers in right from the start and do not let go till the next day. It is not one of those movies where you know were it is heading in that way it creates a type of suspense. And keeps the audience griped right to the end. Discreet is definitely not everybody's cup of tee but if you like a film that portrays people in the real world this movie was made for you.
