#MovieTime - "Cruising" is a 1980 crime thriller film directed by William Friedkin and starring Al Pacino.
It
follows an undercover police officer, Steve Burns (Pacino), who is
assigned to investigate a series of murders in the New York City gay
leather scene. As Burns immerses himself in the subculture, he becomes
increasingly torn between his duties as a cop and his own identity.
The film explores themes of sexuality, identity, and the dark side of human behavior.
As a kid, my favorite scene had to be the interrogation of the first suspect. Henry Judd Baker comes jiggling in with nothing but a jockstrap, a cowboy hat, and boots and smacks the piss out of Pacino.
