Details

Back Soon is a story of love, loss, identity and hope. It follows the relationship between aspiring actor Logan Foster and reformed drug dealer Gil Ramirez, two men who find themselves inexplicably drawn together despite their disparate backgrounds, and the fact that they both regarded themselves as straight. However, their bond is soon threatened by Gil's mysterious past and a startling revelation about the true nature of their connection. Neither man is prepared for this, nor the impact it will have on their lives.

Reviews

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
BILLYBOY-10 Oh, me oh my, where to begin? The actors don't speak their lines, they obviously read them from 3x5 cue cards stapled to each others foreheads. For one, I can't look at the ugly one because of his goofy looking circus clown ears (surely as an actor he could afford to get them fixed?) They are suppose to be playing two straight guys so why are they dripping gay (check out the hideous purple fairy shit the cuter one wears). So, now we add a absurd plot/story-line to the mix, a huge dose of dreadful directing and you come up with..as the french would say: Gar-bage. This is one of those movies that is so ridiculously bad, its laughable, like the worst movie ever made, you just can't keep you eyes off this train wreck...and in slow, dragging, plodding motion. Oh dear, I've spoiled this heap for you but please do get yourself in a mood for and hour and twenty minutes of disbelief.
rrobison-565-711600 After reading the reviews for this movie, I was really hesitant to watch. Once again I proved to myself, sometimes you just have to see/do some things for yourself.First off, is the writing, directing and acting as bad as some have said? No it's not - nor is it Oscar-worthy either. You must remember that this is an indie film with a limited budget so the director doesn't have 30-40 takes each scene to find the hidden gem. Some scenes are better than others, no doubt. But the sum of this movie is definitely better than a few of its parts.There were several references to the movie's "supernatural tendencies" and "unbelievability". I found the story really interesting and fresh. If you're looking for the typical gay indie film that focuses on random hookups and erotic sex scenes, yeah you're going to be disappointed to actually find a STORY here that you need to follow. I wonder if Gil were a woman, would the other reviews have been so pointed? All in all, good effort and interesting story. I'd recommend it.
ughetta86 This is a strange film and I can't give a vote, I can't really say if it's good or not. Better, this film isn't good, but it has some points that make me enjoy it. The best part is the begging, when it describes the two main characters falling in love for each other. The acting was good enough and the atmosphere represented looks sweet and delicate (the is the best point of the movie in my opinion).A part from that, the rest of the film is quite an insult to the viewers' intelligence and the mystic/supernatural tone neither is necessary to the development of the storyline nor makes any sense.In the end, my suggestion is: the film isn't a masterpiece, still it might be worth seeing, if you don't have anything better to do and you aren't too disappointed by the unbelievable supernatural elements in the plot. Otherwise avoid it!
em89072002 Two people involved in fatal accidents on the same day (a woman in a car wreck and a man in a drive-by shooting) simultaneously end up at hospital emergency rooms, and their spirits meet with the proverbial white light in the background. The woman dies, but the man is brought back to life. However, their spirits become intertwined, and her spirit influences his subsequent actions. This is the main premise of the story, and it is a decent concept.The idea is set-up fair enough: the first two-thirds of the movie lead up to that ah-ha moment where the underlying premise is revealed via flashbacks (yet the remainder is predictable - the spirits eventually become unintangled). But, the movie just doesn't work primarily because the characters (Logan - the woman's husband who becomes attracted to Gil, Gil-the man brought back to life who is drawn to Logan by the woman's spirit, Spencer - Logan's friend, Jamie - Gil's friend and the rest) aren't that believable. Their credibility is ruined partly because the dialogue and direction are horrible and partly because the actors are just really bad. It was frustrating and annoying to keep watching them try to make this story work. For example, in one scene with Logan, Gil and Spencer, Spencer goes on a bigoted tirade directed at Gil but it elicits very little reaction from either Logan or Gil. Here, the actions and reactions are unrealistic.When the issue causing tension between Logan and Spencer is revealed, Spencer's performance is over-the-top and Logan's reaction is just flat. The sleep-walking booty call scene is so far-fetched and ridiculously acted that one simply watches in utter disbelief. Toward the end of the movie Gil is nearly killed again, and this time the woman's spirit separates from him. In the hospital recovery room He and Logan ponder whether their relationship has any future now that their former menage a trois has become a twosome. This is the final scene and one of the most dramatic parts of the story but the performances are so weak that it seemed like I was watching a shoddy high school play or at best a third rate community theater production. The funny/sad thing is that within the movie a clip of a sexploitation flick that Logan acted in is shown, and he and Gil joke that the acting was horrible --- yet, it's not that different from the rest of the movie.The notion of spirits lingering around after death has been done before in dramas, and done well in films like GHOST, HEAVEN CAN WAIT/ HERE COMES MR. JORDAN and TOPPER. The idea underlying this film provides an interesting twist to the spirit-lingering concept, but it's an idea that's very poorly executed.
