Marked Men: Rule+Shaw

I suppose it's my own fault but when I saw this I thought it might be a gangster thriller. Nope, it's about the on-off relationship between tattoo artist "Rule" (Chase Stokes) and his friend "Shaw" (Sydney Taylor). She used to date his brother "Remy" but we quickly learn that he was involved in a car accident with his brother and so now we have our requisite dose of family baggage to explain why "Rule" is a bit of a commitment-phobe. Meantime, she is supposed to be dating millionaire drip "Gabe" (Michael Bradway) to keep her rather wealthy but venal mother sweet, but in the end it's her bit of rough that she really craves. Can they sort things out and get past his fear of being called her boyfriend? There's the odd bit of sensitively photographed sex and it does pay slight homage to the artistry of some creative tattooists but for the most part it's a weakly constructed romantic will they/won't they drama that didn't really engage me at all. There is plenty of eye-candy on offer, including from the sparingly used, wooden as a picket fence, Alexander Ludwig as his elder brother "Rome" and Ella Balinska tries to inject a little bit of life into things as her best pal "Ayden" but neither Stokes nor Taylor do anything like enough with the, admittedly pedestrian, script or the story to bring this to life. Quite how it got a general release in the UK is, as Yul Brynner might have said, "a puzzlement ". It looks good and there are a few power ballads to help it along, but it's really just a mediocre television movie, sorry.

Marked more for fans and connoisseurs of the book.

Marked Men is a new romantic drama by Nick Cassavetes, director of The Notebook and The Other Woman. The film is based on the book written by Jay Cownover.Shaw Landon (Sydney Taylor) has had his eye on Rule Archer (Chase Stokes) since they first met. Rule is just a more rebellious tattoo artist, who doesn't really seem to have time for a serious relationship, especially not with a more hearty girl like Shaw.After a party and getting to know each other over a beer, they take on the challenge and try to start a relationship despite their opposites. The two now just have to learn how to maintain this relationship without changing or ruining each other.The author of the book starts with a bit of a cliché direction with an "impossible" romance between a more innocent girl and a bad boy. Which makes for a mysterious relationship. THE adaptation of the book to this film is done appropriately, but remains more fun for connoisseurs and lovers of the book. For other viewers it remains more of a standard romantic drama that remains on the predictable side with the standard clichés.Sydney Taylor and Chase Stokes play their roles faithfully to how they come across in the book, but as actors they lack a confirmed chemistry.
