Taking Orders

About This Movie

Taking Orders is this curious 2001 piece that dives into the world of military camaraderie, layered with a distinct adult twist. The atmosphere is really charged, evoking a certain rawness that’s palpable. You find Dirk Yates steering the narrative with a unique take on masculinity and desire, which gives it a different vibe than your usual films. Kurt Summer and Mike Miles bring a blend of charisma and tension, making their encounters feel oddly genuine amidst the backdrop of Palm Springs. There's this almost gritty realism in their performances that juxtaposes the sun-soaked setting, and the pacing keeps you engaged without dragging things out too much. It's a fascinating exploration of themes like connection and longing, all wrapped in a distinctive presentation that stands out in this niche.

Taking Orders has a bit of a cult following among collectors, primarily due to its unique mix of military themes and adult content. It's rare to find in good condition, especially on DVD, as it didn't have a widespread release. The cover art is quite striking, making it an interesting piece for those who appreciate visually compelling packaging. Its scarcity and niche appeal have contributed to a growing interest among collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
