Originally entitled... COCK & BULL STORY marks the directorial debut of Billy Hayes, whose real-life ordeal inside a Turkish prison was dramatized in Alan Parker's modern classic MIDNIGHT EXPRESS. Originally entitled SOUTHSIDE, Hayes' film centers on lifelong friends Travis (Bret Roberts) and Jacko (Beverly Hills 90210's Brian Austin Green), who live hardscrabble lives in the tough industrial slums of South Side Chicago. Travis is an aspiring boxer on the verge of bigtime success, while Jacko's failed boxing career has left him cynical, angry, and violent. The pair's relationship is increasingly threatened by Jacko's envy and resentment and is even further strained by Travis' burgeoning homosexuality. As Travis and Jacko head toward their inevitable confrontation, Hayes' film becomes a gripping exploration of the destructive forces of machismo and homophobia. [More]
