"There's plenty
of eye candy here for the guys—there is a great deal of male
nudity. There is also great suspense and some really fantastic dialog
peppered with memorable one-liners. For me what emerges from the film
most of all is the wonderful relationship between a lesbian woman and a
gay male. This seems to be something we do not see very often and it is
refreshing to see two gay characters of opposite sexes not only working
together but enjoying each other… Even as a thriller, there
is great comedy and you laugh as you try to figure out what will happen
next… we can only hope that Robert Gaston has more movies
coming our way soon" - Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
"It's in a genre
all its own — the lesbian/gay buddy movie gone sexed-up noir
thriller — and it has a mystery at its heart. Add lots of
girl-on-girl kissing and our dyke detective running around in high
heels and a tight dress with a gun, and you've got 2 Minutes Later, a
film by Robert Gaston (OpenCam),
currently making the rounds on the
LGBT film festival circuit"

Minutes
Later
"Suspense, great
characters, terrific acting, a tight story and a lot of really pretty
people exchanging clever dialogue" - AFTER

"'2 Minutes Later'
was a buddy detective movie, with the buddies being a gay man and a
lesbian thrown together by chance and who bond between chases, trysts
with others, bullets
flying and cocktails. Smartly written and directed by Robert Gaston, it
deserves distribution immediately,
though, like so many small budget independently produced films at
NewFest, it has yet to be picked up.
The actors had real chemistry: Michael Molina and Jessica Graham were a
perfect pair (and perfectly paired off
in their own styles with others for hot gay male and lesbian sex
scenes). Not many flix offer something for both gay men and lesbians.
As he introduced the film, Gaston said: 'We're not trying to save the
world with this film, we just want to entertain people for a couple of
hours.' He has well succeeded." - ANOTHER

"...flick
to keep
an eye out for is Robert Gaston's stylish contemporary
thriller "2 Minutes
Later,"...” - Gary
Kramer GAY CITY NEWS "...a festival
programmer's delight: 'Typically, it’s pulling
teeth
to get men and women into the same screenings. 2 Minutes Later is a
welcomed change.' " - Harriet Yahr ADVOCATE.com
“Packed
with
explosive action and enough explicit
steamy action for both genders, 2 Minutes Later is an
edge-of-your seat, whodunit caper. It has all of the
qualities of a first-rate Hollywood movie story-line,
direction, performances, drama, suspense, humor. It
would deserve raves even without its gay themes and
all of its hunky naked men. I loved it and highly
recommend it." David Knight BUZZ

"I just sat there
going how, how did this guy know to make my dream movie? Robert Gaston,
whoever you are, GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD." "People close to the film
hint there is interest in a sequel, but I can
think of something even better: A television series. This would without
question be the best serial crime drama in the history of ever."
