This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
Bubbles, along with her 4 her trans friends work at a drag club where their queen mother takes care of them. One night, three of them are invites for a night rendezvous by three guys, which soon turns ugly because one of them was not too happy about hooking up with Bubbles to find out she is trans. In an ugly spat, two of them end up dead, while Bubbles goes into coma. With the help of her friend Rachel, fellow drag queen, and the drag queen mother, the three of them decide to take revenge. The three of them manage to capture all three men finally. Making them unconscious, the three women place switchblade knives in the men's asses. In a series of convoluted action sequences, finally the three of them manage to take their revenge by brutally killing all three of them.
As I said before, I am not sure of this was supposed to be a spoof or not. To be honest, I, for some reasons was feeling very embarrassed while watching the film because I couldn't make up my mind to take all this seriously or not. Physical assaults on trans people is a very real concern, so someone trying to make fun of it in the way it is in the film felt disrespectful to me. Plus, the only amusement comes in the catty remarks occasionally exchanged by the girls. Rest seems very over the top, forced and clearly not real. It is a work of fiction and revenge fantasy, as explained by the makers, but I still can't get over how the treatment has been done. Acting is below average especially by the three men. Drag queens are all quite alright and the low budget of the film shows. To appreciate the film, you will really have to keep your brains behind and just watch it for all the silliness of it. Its the kind of film, you see when you have nothing better t o do, don't wanna use your brain too much and finally, not have to remember what you just saw. (3/10)
