AUTO FOCUS (2002)

Auto Focus is a tragedy based on Bob Crane (Greg Kinnear) who was a radio personality before he became the star of the 1960s television show Hogan's Heroes.  Through Bob's success on the show of Hogan's Heroes he meets John Carpenter (Willem Dafoe), a technology guru.  John introduces Bob to stripteases and later the easy access that Bob has to women.  In addition, John demonstrates the video camera for Bob which becomes a tool for the two friends as they begin a sexual escapade with countless numbers of women.  This leads Bob on to a road of difficulty as it isolates him from a public life, which he has grown accustomed to.  Auto Focus offers a solid cinematic experience as the Bob Crane story unfolds, which is supported by a terrific cast and solid camera work.
