Why 'American Gigolo' Puts the Original Film to Shame
It's hard to forget young Richard Gere, with his ridiculous burgundy sunglasses, his jacket thrown over his shoulder, walking down the street wearing pants so tight you could see everything. Even 42 years later, his film, American Gigolo, still has sex appeal.

It wouldn't be the same without him. Carell plays a psychologist who wakes up to find himself chained to the floor in a strange room. He was abducted by one of the patients he was seeing, a serial killer who is desperate to find the treatment he needs. Currently, Carell's fate hangs in the balance.
