AN ENGAGING DETECTIVE STORY
"Third Man Out" is an engaging detective story, the first DVD of a Richard Stevenson story about Donald Strachey, a partnered gay detective operating in Albany, New York. There's much engaging humor in the tale, including the incident where the ceiling literally falls in on a character who'd prefer to his gay escapades private. The acting is good, although Jack Wetherall'sharacter is a bit screechy. It's pleasing to know that the second DVD, "Shock to the System," is even better and that a third DVD in the series is on its way. Well worth a watch.

a little shaky but overall wonderful
I love this series of films so far. The acting is a little sub-par in a few places, but I am gobsmacked with the relationship between Donald and Timmy. I think they are lovely, witty and charming.

I really enjoy the idea that these films are about gay people but aren't about being gay. I appreciate that while they aren't scared to show romance and intimacy, they don't feel the need to be pornographic to do it.

I like Third Man Out, but I thought the next one was better. I definitely recommend this series.

Donald Strachey
The first of the Donald Strachey series and I have to say, really great movie. Third Man Out introduces us to the First Gay Private Investigator Donald Strachey played by Chad Allen. A very moving and indepth story with many subplots all connecting to the major theme of this story. The cast was well picked with nice surprises. Enjoy this film and then check out Shock to The System.
