Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Although the film rather loses its grip in the last two reels, this is, on the whole, an impressive piece of work.

Rating: C+ --
Stylish but emotionally hollow, Paul Schrader's morality tale of a callboy (played by Richard Gere), offers some visual pleasures, including Armani's slick wardrobe.

American Gigolo is full of sophisticated contradictions. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Richard Gere, the highly touted actor critics invariably defend as a talent in search of a script, proves that his method acting can't propel him through a bad script.

'80s thriller has lots of sex, violence, language.

Common Sense Media
Schrader manages to underline the glamour of the protagonist's profession while at the same time illustrating its seedy underside.

...A hot subject....A cool style....Gere is notably convincing in look and manner...

Product Description:
Richard Gere is Julian Kay, a slick emotionally and spiritually deprived L.A. hustler in AMERICAN GIGOLO. While servicing an upscale clientele in the Hollywood area, he becomes involved with a rich senator's wife (Lauren Hutton), their relationship extending beyond Julian's normal encounters. Little does he know he is about to be framed for murder, forcing him to rely on alibis from Madame Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), a crooked pimp (Bill Duke), or the senator's wife herself. A stylishly sleazy look at moral decay and redemption, director Paul Schrader combines a European cinematic sensibility with his usual themes of moral drift and emotional alienation in this vivid portrait of early 1980s chic Hollywood decadence.
